Book excerpt: Susan is a Mennonite woman who wants her granddaughter to record the story of her life; her childhood in a rural Mennonite community, the effect of war on her pacifist culture, her immigration to the jungles of Paraguay to protect the Mennonite religion and traditions, her life back in Canada and what it all means to her now. When asked to write her grandmother’s memoir, Leanne wondered if she should do it. After experiencing a painful period of unemployment and failing health, she was at a crossroads: be practical and get paid or follow her heart and get happy? Is it possible that life gives us what we need?
