Mennonite Cobbler

Where do Mennonites come from? How do you accidentally build a shoemaker? What happens when a family tries to leave the Old Order Faith and yet not make it into the real world? What happens to you when you throw a shovel full of sand at your mother? These and other matters of great pitch and moment are herein addressed. The author recounts family social and religious life in a household no longer enjoying the comfort and traditions of the Old Order Mennonite not yet assimilated into the modern world of the heathen Lutherans and hell-bound Catholics. The struggle of choices a young man caught somewhere between the horse and heaven.
