"Amish books are, literally, a fantasy: a picture of the perfect environment in which to raise Christian children"

The ladies I know that read bonnet books are looking for some escapist romance without the objectionable content. They’d be happy regardless of whether or not the protagonists are Amish or Albanian. They don’t find the Amish lifestyle preferable- they just want to read a romance that doesn’t involve graphic sex and isn’t laced with obscenities.

I remember when Grace Livingston Hill was all the rage- same thing only different.
