The book tells the story of Tillie, a young Mennonite woman living in rural Pennsylvania in the late 19th century. Tillie is a hardworking and devout young woman who is determined to live her life according to the strict religious and cultural traditions of her community. The novel follows Tillie as she navigates the challenges of growing up in a conservative Mennonite household, including the pressure to marry and start a family at a young age. Despite these challenges, Tillie remains steadfast in her faith and her commitment to her family and community. As Tillie grows older, she begins to question some of the traditions and beliefs that she has always held dear. She becomes involved in the women's suffrage movement and begins to explore new ideas and ways of living. This leads to conflict with some members of her community, who see her as a threat to their way of life.--Provide by Amazon.
