Appears unread, contents bright, clean and unmarked with tight, sound binding; near fine. "In this book the author Jacob Friesen who was born in 1918, relates his experiences as a child on a homestead located at the foot of the Pembina Hills. His move to the village of Reinland in the early 1920's immediately followed the migration of the Mennonites to Mexico. Growing up in the village during the "dirty thirties" was difficult. Then came the life-changing trauma of World War II and a brief sojourn in Paraguay. Eventually the author was called to the ministry and by the grace and mercy of God was instrumental in establishing a fundamental evangelical growing church in Gladstone, Manitoba. The Friesen's raised a family of 10 children."
