That "Amish" stuff has been around for years down here in Texas. I usually see it in the Christian/Romance section. Considering how kooky many other Christian books are, I never thought much of it. And as far as romance goes, it's not any weirder than the thrillers or supernatural stuff that's so popular right now. I figure it's stuff hardcore Christians can read without feeling guilty- it's not too racy because it's Proper. So naturally the lit has mutated to become as extreme as possible without being offensive to that readership. It's not really about Amish values at all.
