Guess I was not really refering to the plot it's self,
I just remember thinking as I was reading that the author put a lot of research into the book because unlike "For Richer and For Poorer" it did have alot of correct inside info on Amish thought. (aside from the actual murder)

I am not familiar with "For richer or for poorer" but when I was first reading Amish books, for the first number of years I would not read any fiction unless it was written by an insider who left because I didn't want to get confused. Even now, reading fiction, I get confused. For example, in the book I am reading now, they use pleasantries like please and thank you and the parents show affection. How realistic is this? Does it differ from district to district? That is where I get most confused. I'm sure there is a cultural thread that never changes and then the ones that do district to district. The fiction I read at first is a series by Mary Christner Bontrager. She was raised Amish.
