D.L. chats with Valerie Weaver-Zercher about all things Amish Christian fiction! 

We explore the unique, multi-faceted world of Amish romance, how it ties into the larger evangelical world in general, why it’s so dominated by whiteness, and why it remains such a popular genre among evangelical women today. 

Valerie Weaver-Zercher is a writer and editor with Broadleaf Books (where D.L. is also an author). Check out her website and her book, which we discuss in this episode, Thrill of the Chaste.

We have a website—check it out for more information. You can also find us on Twitter and Instagram.
