Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home by Rhoda Janzen

The author of this memoir gets injured in a car accident and faces a long recovery, and then her husband of 15 years leaves her for a man that he met online. Needing to rest and heal from all of this, she heads home to California and her Mennonite family.

Her parents, especially her mom, are hilarious, and I loved her descriptions of them. As for the recovery process, the book didn't really seem to follow any sort of timeline. Her stories bounced around, and although they were amusing, the book didn't seem cohesive to me.

Somewhat enjoyable, definitely funny, but confusing.
