Award-winning writer Dora Dueck returns with five masterfully crafted stories about family tensions, misunderstandings, and Mennonite communities.
A fourteen-year-old girl sees her soldier father's face for the first time. A group of young old women find community living together in a boxy modern house, until a mystifying event causes them to question what they thought they had. Decades after immigrating from Russia, a Mennonite woman comes to terms with a buried resentment from her past.
In these five keenly observed stories, Dora Dueck fully inhabits the worlds of her characters, who encounter grief and misunderstanding but also tenderness and connection. With grace and insight, Like a River Divides the Earth explores the moments that divide us and the ways our lives are indelibly stitched together.
