#1

Mary-Ann’s story is achingly poignant, and her narrative will not only unravel her past but provide unique insight into the hearts and minds of Hutterite people.

#2

The Hutterite faith was born in the sixteenth century when Jacob Hutter, an Austrian hatmaker, led a group of Anabaptists to a new kind of Christian community. They sold everything they had and shared the money among everyone, as every man had need.

#3

I was approached by a journalist friend to write a magazine article about Hutterite gardens. I knew the Hutterite colony I wanted to visit, Fairholme, because I had heard the story of their garden from my mother, who had worked there.

#4

I visited the Hutterite community, where I met with Judy and her sister Selma, the head cook. I was given an outfit to wear by a nearby house, and I was transported back to the summers of my childhood.

#5

My story is a journey to reclaim my past, a past I kept hidden for many years. I was unwilling to subject myself to ingrained taunts and prejudices, and I didn’t realize how much I was hurting myself and others by not embracing my heritage.

#6

Mary, the sister of the colony’s head cook, was responsible for cleaning the house on Sundays. She would wash the floors and furniture, and make sure they were spotless before breakfast.

#7

Until she was thirteen, Mary had lived at the Old Rosedale Hutterite Colony in Manitoba. Her father, the well-respected Joseph Maendel, was the manager of the largest and most successful colony there. When his wife died suddenly of a gallstone attack, he began to write to mature, eligible women and widows to secure a mother for his younger children.

#8

After Joseph’s death, a leadership change sparked years of simmering conflicts within the community. The two factions could no longer live together, and in 1944, Mary’s brothers left to establish a new colony in southern Manitoba.

#9

The Hutterite colonies in Canada were visited by a handsome visitor named Ronald Dornn. He was from the Lehrerleut sect in Alberta, and he had spent his youth at the Rockport Colony. When he returned for the first time in seven years, he met Aunt Sana Basel, who invited him to visit New Rosedale Colony in Manitoba.

#10

Ronald traveled to Hutterite country and was welcomed by the Hofer family. He lived with the Hofer boys while Mary lived across the hall from him with her nieces. Mary cleaned his room and made his bed every day, but there was never a hint of romance.

#11

Ronald was in love with Mary, and asked her to be his girlfriend. But when this was leaked to the community, he was promptly moved out of Sana Basel’s house and into a small two-room house of his own.

#12

Mary was drawn to Elie, but she knew people would think she was throwing her luck away if she rejected the carpenter from Fairmont. She was forbidden from newspapers, radios, and television, but people’s private lives provided enough entertainment.

#13

Mary was dreading the next encounter with Elie. She knew he was the man her brothers wanted her to marry, and she desperately wanted their approval, but she knew she could not accept his inevitable proposal.

#14

The relationship between Ronald and Mary was over when he received a letter from the colony’s assistant minister, warning him not to share its contents with anyone.
