Summary:
Three autobiographical novellas of Mennonite life in Canada from the 1950's to the 1970's. Leaving Germany with little more than their 16th century Anabaptist faith and lifestyle to guide them, Schroeder's family settled in the Fraser Valley and tried to make sense of the perplexing mores and customs of "The English" who surrounded them.
