Summary

On today's Valentine's Day special, we will be discussing Amish romance novels, and why the fundies love them so much!

Gavi reads "The Shunning" By Beverly Lewis in full, and Sadie reads plot summaries of more than 25 different amish romance novels.

If you are a new listener to our show or are just finding out about the IFB from the "Let Us Prey" Documentary, we recommend listening to episode 57, as well as our 5-part "First Family of Fundamentalism" series from fall of 2020.
