Only Whole Yoders: Discussing Rosanna of the Amish

March 05, 2025 • The MennoBrarians • Season 7 • Episode 3

This week, the MennoBrarians discuss Rosanna of the Amish, a semi-biographical book in which the author Joseph W. Yoder tells the story of his mother’s life. We chat corn husking parties, Amish propaganda, and how this book compares to other early Amish fiction we've covered on the podcast.

We always love hearing from listeners! You can reach us at plainwrongpod at gmail.com, or on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
