Patchwork: A Story of "The Plain People"

Anna Balmer Myers was an American author of romantic novels featuring the local colour of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Her most well known work is Amanda: A Daughter of the Mennonites (1921). Myers' work is frequently viewed as a gentle corrective to the harsh misrepresentations of the novelist Helen Reimensnyder Martin. Her other works include Patchwork: A Story of "the Plain People" (1920), Madonna of the Curb (1922), I Lift My Lamp, and a collection of poetry entitled Rain on the Roof (1931).
