Editorial Reviews
Anyone with Verenike strengthening their muscles and Borscht flowing in their veins knows that Z could only stand for Zwieback. Join a voyage of discovery down the alphabet trail to celebrate the history, culture, and service of this branch of Anabaptist believers. From the early 1500s to the present, it's all there for young and old to enjoy. (Katie Funk Wiebe, author of You Never Gave Me a Name: One Mennonite Woman's Story)
