Authentic Books about Mennonites (11 books)

Authentic voices portraying Mennonite life. These are primarily narratives: fiction, memoir or biography. Books are written by people who grew up Mennonite, Amish, or have family in these groups and have done their research. I am the daughter of a Mennonite minister, and I'm interested in preserving and promoting an accurate portrayal of my culture.
