Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home by Rhoda Janzen

2.0

I was actually really disappointed with this book. I don't read many memoirs so this may be what they are all like. At first I loved it and was interested and amused. When she and her friend were deciding the best way to go shopping with the pee bag I thought I was going to die laughing. But as the story went on it just felt like random anecdotes loosely strung together with remorse about her divorce and marriage. I was also super interested in why she left the Mennonite church but that was never touched on. Its almost like she doesn't know who she is or where she stands if you're just looking at her through this book.
