Die Deutschen in Marylands Kolonialzeit (The Germans of colonial Maryland) Address at the 74th annual dinner of the Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland (German and English versions)
A Pennsylvania Dutch girl struggles to reconcile her strict Old Order Amish way of life with her desire for the "worldly" pleasures and comforts she sees around her. "How Katie learns to cope with worldly things and be proud of her Old Order upbringing makes a charming story, and one that is filled with fun when even the Deacon of the Church wants to listen to the radio. Set in Pennsylvania farming country, here is a rich picture of Amish life with insights about the changing ideas of a younger generation." [dust jacket]
