| Summary |
"The author is an openly gay clinical psychologist who has counseled Amish patients in Indiana for many years. In the book he uses queer theory to explore many facets of Amish sexuality from the perspective of the Amish as a minority population. This book will appeal to scholars of gender and sexuality, to scholars of the Amish, and to social service professionals who serve Amish communities"-- Provided by publisher. |
