Discussion Questions

1) In Holmes County, a large number of Amish homes have a small Daadi-haus attached for the grandparents to live in. Nursing homes are almost never part of their lives. What is your opinion about this choice from the standpoint of each of the three or four generations usually involved?

2) Being a neighbor to the Amish sometimes means being available for small favors of everything from the use of a telephone to transporting members in emergency situations. Some non-Amish embrace the culture and value the friendship. Others find it annoying. Would you want to have Amish neighbors? Why?

3) Grace is a former military nurse, Levi is leaving the Amish church. They come into marriage from two very different cultures. If you were doing premarital counseling with Grace and Levi--what cultural, emotional, and financial problems would you prepare them to deal with as they build a life together.
