Pushing Through Invisible Barriers: A Canadian Mennonite Story. How Hope Transcended Adversity - Friesen, Tena

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Tena Friesen takes the reader on a personal triumphant journey that captures the experiences of a vanished era - pioneering in Canada's last agricultural frontier when joining a group of Old Colony Mennonites. Searching for meaning and purpose in a land that offered little was a test of the human spirit. By clinging to faith and hope she eventually became a part in the development of this now thriving community. The story follows the dispersion of the Mennonite people who immigrated from Russian Ukraine to Canada in the late 1800s - to Mexico, Paraguay, Belize, Bolivia, the United States and other remote areas of Canada in an endeavor to maintain their traditions and culture.
