Ann-Marie Dornn was born into a reclusive and extraordinary Hutterite colony near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. This religious community was an idyllic place for growing young girl, filled with adventure, strong bonds of friendship, rich delicious food, and a deep sense of developing. But for her parents, it had become a community teeming with tension and conflict.

In 1969, Ann's parents leave the place. Here starts the trauma and so does the story. This biographical/autobiographical book talks about the transitions and difficulties the Hutterites go through due to the cultural difference between them and the localites.

It was my first biographical read and was pleasantly enchanting. I especially like the part where she talks about her past and long lost memories of her own land.

I would like to read more such autobiographies.
If you wish to buy this book, it is easily available at www.amazon.com for $13.59.
