About The Book

In this fascinating series

        of narratives, many voices of Jeff Gundy’s Amish and Mennonite forebears

        trace their paths and chronicle their lives. Women and men speak in these

        pages, telling their stories and linking themselves to each other, the

        past, and the present. Gundy demonstrates that who he is — who we all are — is

        shaped by a past peopled with those who worked, loved, dreamed, and died.

        By sharing his community of memory, he makes us desire to seek out our

        own.

      Using family photos, records,

        recollections, and historical research, Gundy follows seven generations

        through time and space: from Bavaria and Alsace to Ohio to Illinois in

        the 1830s; from frontier dwellings with dirt floors to homes with refrigerators.

        He also follows them intellectually, from a strict to a broader interpretation

        of religious doctrine in the 1870s, which led to a schism within the already

        small Mennonite community; from a long-standing position on pacifism and

        conscientious objection to some questioning of this stance during World

        War II.
