ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Best-selling, award-winning author Kim Vogel Sawyer is a wife, mother, grandmother, author, speaker, singer of songs and lover of chocolate... but most importantly, she's a born-again child of the King! A former elementary school teacher, Kim closed her classroom door in 2005 to follow God's call on her heart to write and speak. Now blessed with multiple writing contracts with Bethany House, Barbour, and Zondervan Publishing, Kim enjoys sharing her journey to publication as well as the miraculous story of her healing from a life-long burden of pain and shame.
Kim's gentle yet forthright testimony lends credence to the promise of Ps. 117:2--"Great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever."
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Will their Mennonite faith be shaken or strengthened by the journey to a new land?With their eldest son nearly to the age when he will be drafted into military service, Reinhardt and Lillian Vogt decide to immigrate to America, the land of liberty, with their three sons and Reinhardt's adopted brother, Eli. But when tragedy strikes during the voyage, Lillian and Eli are forced into an agreement neither desires.
Determined to fulfill his obligation to Reinhardt, Eli plans to see Lillian and her sons safely settled on their Kansas homestead--and he's equally determined that the boys will be reared in the Mennonite faith. What he doesn't expect is his growing affection for Lillian--and the deep desire to be part of a family.

I thought this one was interesting, but also wondered as many of the Mennonites that came over when they settled over here settled near communities of other Mennonites and they seemed to be all alone and not have a problem with getting married and then annulling the marriage, even though probably in Mennonite faith it would be thought of as similar to a divorce and they would both never be able to marry again.
Many of the Mennonites when they immigrated over stuck together as they knew life was hard here and if they were alone like that......I can't imagine.
Interesting comments, Martha. I haven't read this one yet, but hope to sometime soon.
