Prairie Homeland by Quinn Graw
The Schultz family, gathered around their family table in 1913, make the necessary, heartbreaking decision to divide their family into two. One set to remain behind in Germany, the other to set off to meet their brother Peter in the prairies of western Canada. With the threat of war imminent, Frank and his wife Mathilda, with their three children and Frank's siblings Ernst and Danielle in tow, see their parents, brother, and homeland for a final time on the pier before they board the ship carrying them and countless others to the safety of Canada.
Yet, the Shultzes' trek becomes more difficult and tragic than they could have imagined, beginning as early as onboard the ship itself. The family are forced to face loss, outlaws, and poverty before finding their new homes. With each trial, however, the Shutlzes also find hope, love, friendship, and new communities as they make their way to the prairie homeland.
About the Author
Quinn Graw is an author living near his hometown of Manning, Alberta in Canada. He is a published author of one novel, Transforming Into Eternity. As well he has self-published three poetry books: The Spring Rain, Time Cube: Echoes of Yesterday's Highway, and Abba, My Father. He spent several years in the local Toastmasters Club in Manning, which he enjoyed a lot. Quinn has taken an interest in family history after turning fifty and not just because of the rise and accessibility of DNA testing. After being contacted by a second cousin from Calgary, Quinn received a large amount of information with regards to his mother's side of the family which had been missing up to that point in time. Reading, collecting postcards from Postcrossing, acrylic painting, card games, and board games are other interests that Quinn enjoys to pursue.
