Description

Life in Paraguay! What an adventure it all seems for idealistic sixteen-year-old Anna when she arrives in her new homeland in the Chaco of South America. Then she discovers the wilderness is hostile, pioneering is unrelentingly difficult, marriage brings sorrow, and friends become enemies. But she also finds love. Again and again, as her exuberant spirit is tested, she strives for resilience. And near the close of her life, she finds the best surprise of all. Under the Still Standing Sun is a deeply affecting and intimate journey through a woman's life, woven into the narrative of Mennonite settlement in Paraguay. - from Amazon
