What a wonderful book. I was smiling through the book and wanted to cry at other times. You are a amazing and different writer like Shelley. I recently went to a Amish lunch to meet Wanda Brunstetter and they served us what appeared to be spaghetti noodles with a sauce and called it noodles. I was surprised since this is not what I would call or think of noodles in a Amish home. I went to Holmes County last year and hope to return this year. It was to hot to really explore and enjoy all there is to see. Keep the books coming and I am so thankful that I discovered your work.

My Old Order Amish friends were giving me a tutorial this past week on them. Steve and I are doing great. He's feeling really well. Hope you and yours are, too!

I just finished your latest book and loved every moment of it!!! I have been curious about the different sects of the Amish, and this book did a better job of explaining the differences than any other that I have read. Once again, your talent blows me away!

]]> Comment on An Amish Marriage by Sherry Dixon http://serenabmiller.com/an-amish-marriage/comment-page-1/#comment-168 Sherry Dixon Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:17:30 +0000 http://serenabmiller.com/?p=522#comment-168 Ms. Miller, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that your story about your friend Naomi is beautiful. We live in the heart of Amish country here in Delaware, and I wish the out of state transplants overtaking our countryside would realize how special the Amish are. I too have noticed what you have. I do not see any of our female Amish neighbors as downtrodden, depressed or mistreated. Actually it really is quite the contrary. They all seem quite content, healthy and happy. Unfortunately, with the out-of-state transplant boom, much of our Amish friends have left the state. They are moving to Virginia, Kentucky, Upper New York state to name a few. Everyday we see another Amish farm going up for sale. It truly is sad. The folks moving into our area look at them as more of a nuisance and keeping them from rushing to wherever they are going, and I've noticed they get aggressive with the Amish on the road; cutting them off in traffic and scaring their horses as they speed by. Please let your friend know how much she and the Amish community are appreciated by me and my husband. Thanks again for the lovely article. Much blessings to you and yours, Sherry Dixon Ms. Miller,

Thank you for taking the time to comment on this issue. Knowing that I'm not the only writer who can't read her own published work without going into a slump is a great comfort. I'm totally blown away by your assessment of my next two books. To have a writer of your caliber and skill saying such great things....well, let's just say I've dug out of that slump and am writing full-blast again! Thank you so much!

That's why I can't ever read mine once they release. I fall into a terrible slump and can't dig myself out. We are kindred souls in many respects. I'm so thrilled about your April release - it's such a great story:) And I wanted to tell you how very, very much I enjoyed A Promise to Love. I finished it in a windstorm a couple of weekends ago when the power went out and all I could do was read. What a HUGE blessing Ingrid and Joshua's story was to me. I couldn't say enough glowing things in my endorsement though I tried. Readers are going to love this story and the fascinating history behind it come September/October. Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your blog/journal here - and your books! Serena, I so relate to the need to keep editing a book even once it’s in print!
