Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Using diaries, legal records, and published sources, as well as anecdotes contributed by other family members, Stutzman tells the life story of a remarkable man his father. The author, who is a preacher, teacher, and writer (Being God's People), readily admits that this is "a story book, not a history book," but this fictionalized re-creation provides an authentic picture of the Amish community of the period and its effects on the lives of ordinary individuals. The author creates believable dialog and vividly depicts the normal activities of Amish life. Stutzman, whose father died when he was only three years old, clearly feels he has gotten to know the father he never knew by writing this book. The reader too will enjoy getting to know the ambitious, sometimes difficult Tobias. Recommended for public libraries. C. Robert Nixon, M.L.S. Lafayette, IN
