Rent Blush: A Mennonite Girl Meets a Glittering World

Synopsis

Little Shirley Hershey, named for a movie star, grew up with her nose pressed to the window of the glittering world. Three locations shaped her a family farm, a country school, and Lititz Mennonite Church. She later became a college president and then a foundation executive, but the rosy-cheeked, barefoot farm girl never quite disappeared.

As Willa Cather said, Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen. This childhood memoir tells the story of a girl who might have left the church but found another way.
