Just Plain Wrong The MennoBrarians

This week we are thrilled to be joined by Regina Shands Stoltzfus and Tobin Miller Shearer to discuss their antiracism work and their book Been in the Struggle: Pursuing an Antiracist Spirituality.  We chat about their friendship, work in and for the Mennonite church, and why we think they should consider branching out and writing Amish romance. 

Purchase their book, Been in the Struggle, through MennoMedia or wherever you get your books.

This week, the MennoBrarians discuss Follow Your Heart, a 2020 Hallmark movie. In the movie, Katrina "Kathy" Yoder is a successful author, having published several books in her Broke Girl's Guide travel series. She and her boyfriend have just been offered a TV deal when she finds out her father has passed away and she needs to return home to the Amish community where she grew up. We chat love triangles, unlikely publishing and tv opportunities, and how ridiculous a bonnet looks with bangs.
