Book Review: Plain Wisdom by Cindy Woodsmall and Miriam Flaud

This book is just a joy to read.  It's not long, busy, thrilling, or life-changing.  It is just simply a nice escape.  Each author has written short essays on various topics.  The topics include things such as "A Day In The Life" or "Games, Puzzles, &, Playtime."  The ladies then each write a page or two about something that pertains to that heading.  It can be about a particular event or even a family tradition.

I really enjoyed the relationship between these two women from VERY different cultural backgrounds.  It gives a good representation as to how even when we look very different on the outside, our inner thoughts and worries are very much the same.  It also shows us that different people need different things for their lives to run smoothly.  Ms. Woodsmall indicates that she can appreciate the simple, electronics free life of the Amish while not being willing to adjust her life to live that way.  Her path in life lays on a different route.

If you are looking for a good summer read, go out and get a copy of "Plain Wisdom" by Cindy Woodsmall and Miriam Flaud.  You will be much happier after you have read some of this book.  It adds a little smile to your heart.
