 Not worth the paper it was printed on! May 16, 2008

Seeing that this book had received a 5 star review, I assumed it would be very good and informative. I was completely wrong. The book itself, does not specifically address her amish upbringings. She speaks of her own issues with her parents and siblings who used to tease her for being overweight. Honestly, there was nothing different about her experience that differed so greatly from the average American's. If one wasn't aware the author was writing about the Amish, they would have no basis to assume differently. Also, the book itself was very poorly edited. She would be speaking in 3rd person and then suddenly jump to first. Same thing with active and passive voice. And don't get me started on the number of times she used apostrophes incorrectly.
All this having been said, this book is written at the level of a 3rd grader, however the material is in no way appropriate for that age group. I believe Ms. Olson had only the best intentions in writing this book but needed help getting her message across which she did not receive. If an editor could get their hands on this book and help her flesh out her ideas, I think this book could be greatly improved.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R28IMD1VVRFT04 Anna Olson spent her youth in the Amish culture, with no electricity or indoor plumbing. She made the tough difficult decision to leave the only life she knew to uprsue her dreams. many in her community turned against her, but Anna kept the best of her Amish heritage with her in her new life. Now she brings the best of both cultures into her writing, speaking, and coaching. She is a dynamic and inspirational speaker who deeply cares about helping people become their best possible self.
This book is full of heart and soul and great guidance.
