Just Plain Wrong
Quivering Euphemisms: Discussing the 1980s Amish Romance, With Open Arms
Show Notes

This week, the MennoBrarians discuss With Open Arms,  an explicit romance novel by Kathy Alerding (or sometimes Aldering) from 1986.  We discuss unlikely sabbaticals, confusing flashbacks, somewhat surprise tornados, and more! 

Content note: As this book contained explicit sex scenes, these are referred to in a non-explicit way; some sexual euphemisms from the text are quoted.
