Join us for two upcoming author talks at Mennonite Life.
May 9, 6:30 p.m. Author Talk: The Mennonite and Brethren Music of Peggy's War
Karl Rhodes will share his meticulously researched novel inspired by the true story of his great-great-grandmother, Peggy Rhodes. Peggy is a Mennonite living in the Confederate Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War. In the midst of her busy and often difficult life, she conceals Mennonite and Brethren refugees escaping the war. This event will also highlight hymns sung by Mennonite and Brethren refugees like the ones in the book.
July 25, 6:30 p.m. Author Talk: Amish Gardens of Lancaster County
Join us for an exploration of Amish kitchen gardens with author Beth Oberholtzer. Oberholtzer's book explores Amish family gardens as portraits of the women who design, tend, and harvest them. Included are 32 family recipes straight from the garden: hot-pepper jam, fried green tomatoes, sweet dill pickles, sauerkraut for a crowd, corn fritters, and creamed celery.
These events are complimentary and take place in the Mennonite Life Community Room.
