“In Leaving Canada: The Journey to Mexico, you met a group of Mennonites who sold their farms in Canada and moved to Chihuahua and Durango, Mexico. In the second volume, Discovering Mexico: A Strange New Land, the Mennonites get settled in their new homeland. In this reader, young people and adults are settlers no more. Mexico is their homeland. You will meet David, whose Christmas present makes him the envy of the village; Helen, who learns to sew her own clothes; and the Rempel children, who build an adobe village. And Sarah is back with more spunky stories. All this and more in A New Home: Living in Mexico.”

You will also meet Mexicans who wondered who all these strangers were. All that and more…”
