Librarian: Hello, how may I assist you?
Customer: Yes, I am looking for something good to read.
Librarian: What is the last thing that you read?
Customer: I just retired and want to get back into reading. I use to read books about people. I like to know what kinds of lives real people live/lived.
Librarian: Okay. Great! So you like to read about people. Are you interested in people who are entertainers, politicians, sport celebrities. Have I named a category that interests you yet?
Customer: Well, I am more interested in ordinary people. People who have lived difficult lives and somehow they preserve.
Librarian: Okay, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home. This is a story about a young lady, Rhoda, who grew up in a traditional Mennonite home and after her husband leaves her she returns home to heal from the end of her marriage and from a very serious car accident.. The author recounts the events of her life with humor and brilliant insight. I don't believe that you will be able to put this book down.
Customer: I don't know. I am not sure about the religion part.
Librarian: The book is not preachy. Religion is used to help you understand the person upbringing and in Rhoda's case her fierce determination to overcome obstacles.
Customer: I will try it.
Librarian: Would you like a second choice or a different choice?
Customer: No, You seem pretty excited about this book. I will try it.
