Description
When her life implodes with a sudden divorce and a serious car accident, Rhoda Janzen finds herself returning to the unconventional embrace of her Mennonite roots. Far from the sophisticated world she inhabited, she navigates the familiar yet foreign landscape of her childhood home, where quirky family advice and unwavering community support offer a unique path to healing. This poignant and humorous memoir explores themes of faith, love, and the complex journey of self-discovery as Janzen confronts past choices and finds solace in the most unexpected of places. With a voice reminiscent of Anne Lamott and Nora Ephron, the author offers a moving reflection on finding one's way back home to oneself.
