Free (nook/Kindle/XtianBk) Almost Amish by Kathryn Cushman [Christian Fiction]

[ATDrake]

Almost Amish by Kathryn Cushman is probably as close as you're ever going to get to a professionally published* inspirational reality TV spoof novel, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Bethany House imprint.

Not gonna lie, this one looks kind of interesting and given the fundamental incompatibility of advanced technology with the core tenets of the modern Amish lifestyle, I sincerely hope it's got sufficient ironic self-awareness for entertainment value because that would be awesome.

Currently free @ B&N, Amazon UK (likely to drop in the main store), and Christian Book (available worldwide).

Description
Proving the Simple Life Isn't So Simple After All

Overcommitted and overwhelmed, Julie Charlton is at the breaking point. She knows she should feel blessed as a mother and wife--but she just feels exhausted. And then, the miraculous happens. Her sister-in-law Susan, a Martha Stewart-in-training, lands the chance to participate in a reality TV series about trying to live like the Amish and needs another family to join her. It's just the break Julie needs.

But the summer adventure in simple living soon proves anything but simple. With the camera watching every move, Susan's drive for perfection feels a lot like what they left behind, while Julie suddenly finds herself needing to stand up for slowing down. Whether it's cooking, cleaning, or dressing differently, each new Amish challenge raises new complications...and soon each woman learns unexpected lessons about herself and her family.

* The composition of this sentence has probably just Rule 34-ed the existence of the amateur porno parody version up onto Smashwords and thence to the KDP slushpile even as I type.
