The First 10 Years

Comments from Readers on Book 1“ . . . a wonderful book . . . spiritually uplifting . . . warm human insight and nostalgia . . . delightful reading as I recovered from hip surgery. I’d like to order four more copies . . .”
— Middle-aged female reader from O’Fallen, IL —

“This is no sappy, quasi-Christian literature; this is the real deal. . . the proverbial diamond in the rough . . . I am going to see that the library at Heritage Christian School, where my children are enrolled, has several copies . . .”
— Tom Bergman, editor, Perspectives, Spring issue 2012 —

“. . . One of the finest Christian books I’ve read for young people . . .”

Years Eleven through Seventeen:
World War II Years

When the Kroontje family moved into their second tiny house, they had no idea that within months of their move Uncle Bill Tilstra would be assigned to the USS Arizona, the first ship Japan bombed in Pearl Harbor. Nor did they know that three of Uncle Bill's ships would be destroyed – but that he would be spared from death in ways that were clearly God's providential care . . . yet so horrific that he hated talking about the war.

While war loomed in the background, Uncle Bill always on the family's mind, Katherine's farm life continued with a mixture of stories – some humorous, some serious, some full of neighborliness, some with tragedy.

Join the Kroontje family — living daily life on an Iowa farm even while World War II is being fought across the oceans.

Years Eigtheen through Twenty:
The Romance Years

“I am a stranger here, within a foreign land,
My home is far away, upon a golden strand . . .”

When Katherine and her family moved
from their tiny home near Rock Rapids, Iowa,
to a new home near Magnolia, Minnesota,
this is how Katherine felt her first Sunday in a new church.
She felt lost, totally bereft of friends and familiarity.
What had she and her family done?
They had left everything near and dear behind
to start completely over!

Would she ever be able to fit in? To find friends? To feel like she belonged . . .?
