From Little Black Bonnet to Oatmeal Box Wedding Veil is the recounting of the first thirty years in the life of Esther Hershberger Gingerich. Esther writes of her earliest memories, her growing up years, the uncertain teen years, and the early years of her marriage. Born in 1943 into a struggling Amish family, Esther experienced many moves, changes, new schools, and hand-me-downs. Playing with her two brothers on the farm was sometimes hilarious and sometimes downright dangerous. She tells of the trauma of leaving the Amish and the agony of losing a brother. Under girding all the uncertainties of her life were the faith, love and support of her parents and extended family.
