Publisher's Synopsis
In this tribute to the author's beloved grandfather, we are taken not only through life as it was known on a 1900's Midwest farm but on a journey of discovery from where the Litwiller family first came. In his reflective, narrative tone, Terrence walks us through not only everything he has come to learn about his grandfather that died when he was only two years old, his family history back to France, Germany and Switzerland and the family's deep Mennonite roots - but also shares some insights into the nature of family research itself and adds some historical research and context. First and foremost, this is a story of family: a tribute to a beloved man known for his faith, sincerity and love, and of how tiny glimpses in time can leave life changing marks on those around us.
