Teresa Phillips once lived in an Amish sect. She travels the world, giving lectures about her past Amish life and current Mennonite religion. She is currently working on “The Yoder Twins”, for ages 8-12. She plans on launching it in January.
“Leaving Lancaster County” is about a young Amish girl, Miriam Ruth Yoder, who yearns to travel to the swamps of Africa as a nurse midwife. It takes a letter from the Governor and a mysterious lady to make her family see that God has given her a talent. She must use it or lose it.
Having handsome Dr. Charles Lambert walk into her life doesn’t help matters at all. For he is the local Baptist missionary doctor. It is through him that she learns that you have to walk before you can fall. Sometimes the good guy wins even when he loses.
