I thought this book was an eye-opening journey into the secretive lives of the Hutterite community. I felt the author was honest and did a wonderful job of portraying her feelings and experiences as a child on the Hutterite colony. I liked her quote "Freedom is found neither on the colony nor off the colony, it is an inside job." And though sometimes non-fiction and memoirs are somewhat boring, I thought this book read like a fiction book and there were lots of events happening that kept me turning the page.
