Dear Peter, Dear Ulla
by Barbara Nickel — $16.95
Perfect for young readers ages 8 to 12, this gripping historical novel traces the secret, heart-stirring correspondence between two young cousins—one growing up on a peaceful prairie Mennonite farm, the other navigating life in war-torn Germany. Through their letters, it provides a deeply moving, age-appropriate look at Mennonite heritage, personal identity, and the extraordinary courage it takes to hold fast to peace in turbulent times.
Essential Tremor: Poems
by Barbara Nickel— $16
Bridging personal history, inherited faith, and the quiet beauty of memory, this striking poetry collection captures the delicate balance between physical vulnerability and enduring spiritual resilience. Deeply grounded in prairie landscapes and rich Mennonite ancestry, Nickel offers a luminous, deeply felt reflection on living with illness, honoring family lineage, and discovering hope and song within the body's daily tremors.
