Synopsis
At 43, Rhoda Janzen's life suddenly explodes all around her. Not only has she barely survived a debilitating car crash, but her husband of 15 years has left her for a man he found on the Internet, leaving her to struggle with a mortgage she can't afford. And so she goes back to live with her parents, a deeply religious couple living in the surreally abstemious culture of the Mennonites. It's a culture that Janzen had abandoned years ago, but she finds its conservatism, practicality, and spirituality oddly comforting in her time of need. Written with a breezy, wonderfully self-deprecating voice, MENNONITE IN A BLACK DRESS is a delightful memoir, so odd and hilarious that it deserves to be a film one day. Selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the 100 Best Books of 2009.

Industry Reviews
"[A] wonderfully intelligent and frank memoir....I loved this book and Rhoda Janzen. She is a terrific, pithy, beautiful writer, a reliable, sympathetic narrator and a fantastically good sport....MENNONITE IN A LITTLE BLACK DRESS is snort-up-your-coffee funny, breezy yet profound, and poetic without trying. In fact the whole book reads as if Janzen had dictated it to her best non-Menno friend, in her bathrobe, over tea."
(11/08/2009)

"[A] spirited, fascinating memoir about rediscovering belief....Janzen's story reminds us what a beautiful gift our past can be."
(10/25/2009)

"[A] hilarious collection of musings on Janzen's childhood, marriage and eccentric family."
(10/23/2009)

"Janzen is always ready to gently turn the humor back on herself...and women will immediately warm to the self-deprecating honesty with which she describes the efforts of friends and family to help her re-establish her emotional well-being." (starred review)
