Summary
This book opens a window into the lives of two ordinary people who lived through extraordinary circumstances. Daadi and Mammi Rutt lived through World Wars, depressions, major Church splits, the death of three children, and numerous plagues and illness. Mammi Rutt kept a diary from April 18, 1930, to December 26, 1962. Read along as she covers mundane chores to significant milestones for the Rutt Family and their community. A commentary on the Weaverland Mennonite Conference, also known as "The Horning Church" or "Black Bumper Church" is provided, as well as commentary into the Church's struggle to accept "machines" (automobiles) and the activities of their young people.
