Industry Reviews Bender (A Golden Sunbeam, LJ 4/1/97) continues her depiction of Amish community life in this new series featuring characters who first appeared in the heartfelt series "Miriam's Journal." Though she is well loved, Dora, the 16-year-old adoptive daughter of Miriam and Nate Kauffman, begins to feel the need to break away from the constrictions of Amish life. A serious accident brings her to her senses. Wanting a new start, Dora accepts a job teaching in an Amish school in Minnesota, where she begins to find true contentment. Told in diary form, this old-fashioned, often sentimental tale gives a good introduction to what is certain to be a popular series. Recommended. Dirda
