Summary of Mary-Ann Kirkby's I Am Hutterite

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Mary-Ann’s story is achingly poignant, and her narrative will not only unravel her past but provide unique insight into the hearts and minds of Hutterite people.

#2 The Hutterite faith was born in the sixteenth century when Jacob Hutter, an Austrian hatmaker, led a group of Anabaptists to a new kind of Christian community. They sold everything they had and shared the money among everyone, as every man had need.

#3 I was approached by a journalist friend to write a magazine article about Hutterite gardens. I knew the Hutterite colony I wanted to visit, Fairholme, because I had heard the story of their garden from my mother, who had worked there.

#4 I visited the Hutterite community, where I met with Judy and her sister Selma, the head cook. I was given an outfit to wear by a nearby house, and I was transported back to the summers of my childhood.
