Come Along 100 Ruth Hertzog

In hard economic times, how do people respond? This inaugural book by ninety-four year old author Ruth Hertzog creatively blends truth and fiction in an entertaining look at the rhythm and flow of Pennsylvania Dutch farm life during the Depression, with a couple of unexpected plot twists. Step back into a world where community meant looking out for one another. You'll get a real appreciation of Pennsylvania Dutch culture in dialect-based dialog (with translations), food and recipes, and lifestyles. Part memoir and part novel, it's a perfect book for our COVID-19 times as we are confronted with questions of personal responsibility, tolerance, and helping others in need.
