Weyant, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Amanda: A Daughter of the Mennonites" by Anna Balmer Myers is a novel written in the early 20th century that explores childhood within a traditional Mennonite community. The narrative focuses on young Amanda Reist and her experiences growing up in a loving but structured household, highlighting the joys and challenges she faces in her rural environment. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to Amanda and her brother, Philip, as they engage in playful banter and sibling rivalry while enjoying a hot summer day by the creek. The chapter paints a picture of their lively, affectionate relationship and the harmonious country life they lead, marked by family interactions and a close-knit community. Their mother, a widow, is portrayed as gentle and nurturing, striving to create a happy home for her children despite the weight of her past. The arrival of their demanding Aunt Rebecca adds friction, as she embodies a strict, traditional figure within the Mennonite way of life.
