Chapter 22

The last chapter! The Brende’s are back in Boston until someone tells Brende that they still use rickshaws in Charleston, South Carolina. So, they pack up their bags and move. Brende continues to use a bicycle taxi as his main source of income. They also say that they are still somewhat minimalist in their ways. Such as no television, they home school the kids, and use a push mower. I am disappointed in the end. I wish they stayed in the Amish community. I know that they could’ve done it and been successful. Maybe when they are retired and their kids are grown they will go back and try it again.

I thought they made the right decision in the end, at least in this community the children will not be as sheltered from the world… as far as moving back, it would probably be hard for them in their old age to keep up with all that physical work required in the Minimite community

Brende belongs with the Amish. He was finally able to make friends
