“A wonderful collection of true stories and insights, written by a thoughtful woman who loves the life she’s been given.”— Suzanne Woods Fisher, author of Amish Peace

“I applaud Linda Maendel for giving us a unique firsthand account of her life on a Hutterite colony. It’s wonderful to see Hutterite writers emerge and take their place in the mainstream!”
—Mary-Ann Kirkby, author of I Am Hutterite and Secrets of a Hutterite Kitchen

“Linda Maendel’s clear vision and her loving heart wrapped me in a fine quilt of story as I read. Of all of the books on Hutterites that I have seen, this is the one that I cherish.”—Joe McLellan, author of the Nanabosho series

“This book will awaken your longing for a better world. As I read it, I smiled, laughed out loud, and cried along with the author and her community. Linda Maendel takes you deep into Hutterian community life one gentle picture at a time.”—Shirley Hershey Showalter, author of Blush

“Hutterite Diaries is an insightful look into Hutterite colony life from an insider who not only describes what life is like there but why things are done in particular ways. Maendel’s explanations will not only resonate with all Hutterites but also provide an important introduction to Hutterite life for non-Hutterites.”—Rod Janzen, author of The Hutterites in North America
