Plain English
When Susie Fisher left the Amish church at age 20, she realized that being shunned was just the beginning and that culture shock was an equal-opportunity wench that impacted every aspect of her new life.
How could she make the leap from schooling that had been cut off at age 14 to a college education? How could she cope with Corporate America, where she found conformity that felt eerily like what she had left behind? Could she survive the romantic entanglements that were the result of her unsophisticated choices? Worst of all, how could she have known that the very churches she had so looked forward to attending would be rife with wolves in sheep's clothing?
The freedom to choose one's own path sounds glorious, but as Susie describes, there are pitfalls, and laughter, aplenty…
The Boy Who Lived On Oatmeal Street
Does anyone really like plain oatmeal? Sammy and his dog, Leroy, sure didn't. And why should they? No brown sugar. No raisins. Just boring oatmeal! And, unfortunately, that was the only breakfast they had, every morning. And since Sammy's nana liked knitting better than children, she was no help either.
One day Sammy and Leroy decided to discover what the neighbours were having for breakfast. And oh, what a revelation that was! Frosted Flakes! Eggs and Bacon! And then, to Sammy and Leroy's utter horror: another house where oatmeal was served. But what a difference! There were so many exciting additions that the oatmeal was barely recognizable!
When Sammy grew up, that bowl of oatmeal-turned-delicious inspired him to become a breakfast chef, which goes to show that any idea, no matter how dreadful, can be turned into something exciting if one just uses a little imagination.
