![Jese Leos](https://library.apooobooks.com/author/ian-mitchell.jpg)
By Mary Byler
In the heart of America's heartland, there exists a world where time seems to have stood still. A world where horse-drawn buggies clip-clop along country roads, and women gather in quilting circles to stitch together beautiful works of art. This is the world of the Plain People - Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite communities who have preserved their unique cultures and traditions for centuries.
