Plain: A Memoir of Mennonite Girlhood Hostetter Mary Alice
Plain tells the story of Mary Alice Hostetter's journey to define an authentic self amid a rigid religious upbringing in a Mennonite farm family. She feels fortunate to have been born into a religion where, as the familiar hymn states, she is "safe in the arms of Jesus."
