    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the appeal of the Amish romance to readers where the Amish set a precedent that their relationships are based on family, church and community. Topics discussed include the Amish books' subtler way of conveying sex, the portrayal of young ladies torn by deep desires and the bulk of the Amish romance audience made up of women over 40 who are not Amish but evangelical Christians.
