I have so much to say about this book. What a good resource to wet your appetite for the history of the Mennonites, Russia,and WW11. The story of a family as told through the lives of three generations of women. I was so interested in this period of history , that now I will have to look for more. My only regret in the book that toward the end she seems to want to include herself with romance writers. I like truth in books just not cheap truth.
