Letters from Harrisburg, Ordinary Days

Doris Smucker, the author, is a wonderful writer and perhaps only known in the Eugene, Oregon area - but she should be promoted to the rest of the U.S.A. and Canada. Her writings are by no means religious but most interesting about Amish/Mennonite life not only in Oregon but the Midwest and even in Yemen.

Letters from Harrisburg: Ordinary Days by Dorcas Smucker

We all have ordinary days, don't we? Most of us don't make a book out of them, although we would have enough experiences to do so. No doubt they'd be just as fascinating as the days that Dorcas has written about. It's the way we look at life that counts. It's then that ordinary days become extra-ordinary. Because those days are filled with family, friends, daily and not so daily events and longings which give way to heart-stuff.You'll laugh, sniffle some tears, and have a snuggy down-home, comfy sense of 'there's something right with the world sometimes'.Dorcas is a down-home mom, with a down-home sense of delight and right. You'll like her.

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!

Dorcas Smucker does a masterful job of telling simple stories in such a delightful manner. Stories of a teenage driving, a burning van, and an inquisitive two-year old will hold your attention until the last page. I think it is a very good and interesting read and would recommend it to ages 13 and over.
