Published: 2013

Rhoda Janzen had reached a crossroads: she had just hit forty when her brilliant husband of fifteen years left her for a guy he met on Gay.com. In the same calamitous week, she was hospitalized in a horrible car accident. With no alternatives, Rhoda decided to pack her bags and head home into the heart of the Christian sect she had spent years longing to escape. Written with wry humor and huge personality—and tackling faith, love, family, and aging—Mennonite in a Little Black Dress is an immensely moving memoir of healing.
