Book Review: "Fields of Grace" by Kim Vogel Sawyer

This book was wonderful.  I didn't want to put it down and I didn't want it to end.  Especially enjoyable was the glimpse it gave into the immigrant experience shared by so many of our ancestors.  I got a taste of the history of the German Mennonite colonies in Russia, the life on a ship coming to America and the settling of the plains of Kansas.  So much rich heritage is within the pages of this book but the story is so compelling that you do not even realize how much historical information you are receiving until you sit savoring the whole experience at the end of the book.  I'm going to be looking for more by this author.  And maybe a sequel -- hint hint.
