Readers can learn to know the women of the Bergthal Church of Pawnee Rock, Kans., where the author grew up. The church began with Mennonite immigration from Russia to North America in 1874. Interviews with these women occurred from 1989 to 1991. Photo essays of the women Deckert portrays help them come alive to her readers. Includes historical anecdotes about Susanna Deckert Dirks. (86pp. illus. Wordsworth, 1993.)
