Experience a life that few people live today. It's a life filled with physical risk requiring each member to work-and play-for the good of the whole. Told with refreshing forthrightness, this tribute and memoir is a heartwarming story of 19 children growing up in a Mennonite home and farming community. The Susquehanna River is the touchstone for recollections of obstacles, triumphs, and challenges in a large, loving household. Binding the family together are parents with unshakable values, songs at every turn, and the constant demands of farm life. Experience your feet touching the cold bedroom floor on a winter morning-sharing a single bathroom-surviving a flood-driving tractor at the age of five-feeding winter-born lambs by the cookstove-high spirits and teasing-discovering a nest of baby rabbits-and the care-filled guidance of parents with nearly opposite dispositions. Love, connection, and faith formed and continues to sustain this family. This story is beautifuly told by one of the family members: Rose Stoltzfus Huyard.
