I Am a Hutterite (Large Print)

Controversial and acclaimed by the Hutterite community, Kirby's book unveils the rich history and traditions of her people. *I Am Hutterite*takes readers into the hidden heart of the little-known Hutterite colony in southern Manitoba where author Mary-Ann Kirkby spent her childhood. When she was ten years old her parents packed up their seven children and a handful of possessions and left the security of the colony to start a new life. Overnight they were thrust into a world they didn't understand, a world that did not understand them. With great humor, Kirkby describes how she adapted to popular culture; and with raw honesty her family's deep sense of loss for their community. More than a history lesson, *I Am Hutterite*is a powerful tale of retracing steps and understanding how our beginnings often define us.Read less
