In this remarkable account of a line of Friesen descendants, the author, Henry A. Friesen, offers us not only a family history but also a multi-themed study of cultural dynamics and the relationship between faith and the wider culture. At every level the story will prove to be most engaging – not only for those with connections to the Friesen clan or even Mennonites in general – but also to the reader-at-large. At one level we have a moving, even poignant family story; at another level we are introduced to the impact of social forces on a faith community: from agriculture and economics to transportation and political change; from war and peace, to leadership elites. By dint of his careful research and thoughtful reflection Henry Friesen has in fact opened to us a window on life itself.
