This is one of the best books I've read, it is a dual time, which brings this read alive and answers a lot of questions.
This a story of Anabaptist and their struggles and persecution through the ages, from their time under communism to the evil that spread through Europe during the 1930's and 1940's.
Yes, we begin in Oregon with a Mennonite family, and are there when tragedy happens, and travel with part of the family while they go to visit their Old Order Amish family in Lancaster PA.
From coast to coast in the US, but then we are off to Germany and with friends and family there. Questions are answered about why sides were taken during WWII, and I was surprised. I loved the stories that were told by the elderly Aunt, and see if you can guess the answers prior to her telling.
Be sure to read the author's notes, they are eye opening and show what is going on to this day.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
