Additional Info
Rachel Maendel grew up in a special place; a Hutterian colony in Canada, where many families lived together on one big farm, sharing their work and play.

Rachel had a large family and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. The warmth and love of her extended family come through in the true stories in this book. The stories show us that it is possible to have a happy childhood with few material things.

Rachel’s Hutterite colony had its own school, kitchen, and dining room. Their tradition of working, eating, and worshiping together as one large family goes back to Anabaptist beginnings in Europe, five hundred years ago.
