Crazy Quilt: Pieces of a Mennonite Life

a young woman’s quest to find happiness amid a broken marriage and deep depression

 

Crazy Quilt: Pieces of a Mennonite Life. By Cynthia Yoder. Cascadia Publishing House/Herald Press (2003).

Book review by Cindy Warner Baker

Crazy Quilt follows a young woman’s quest to find happiness amid a broken marriage and a deep depression. The author returns to her rural Pennsylvania community in search of healing for her own life. In this book she interweaves her own journey to healing with stories she gleaned of her family especially through the eyes of her grandparents. It may well be that readers will identify with parts of her journey. (187 pages) Cynthia's website.
