Book Review: I Am Hutterite

I am fascinated by the Hutterites. I always have been, ever since I was a kid. I've always wanted to learn more about them but this was before the internet, before the google, and before I knew a librarian could help me find a book on the topic. As a child, I dreamed about writing a book about the Hutterites. It was going to be about this girl who was my age (naturally) who was out riding her bike and witnessed a crime.

As usual tickets sold out in record time and I didn't have one. And then the boy broke my heart. Besides the overwhelming sadness and loneliness that comes with that, I was filled with regret that I didn't get a Folk Fest ticket. I was annoyed I was going to break my streak!
