About this book
In a time when traditional values clashed with modernity, "Patchwork: A Story of 'The Plain People'" by Anna Balmer Myers offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of the Plain People, a community defined by their commitment to simplicity and faith. Through the eyes of young Phoebe Metz, readers explore themes of belonging and identity, as she grapples with the unalienable rights of self-expression within a tightly woven society. This historical novel invites students and civic activists to reflect on the balance between individuality and communal responsibility. With rich storytelling and vivid characterizations, Myers captures the essence of a world where every stitch in the patchwork of life tells a story of resilience and connection.
