Side by Side, A Memoir of Parents

ANNA Enns (1902-1958) and HEINRICH M. Epp (1904-1958) emigrated from the Caucasus, Russia, to the Canadian prairies in 1924.

Side by Side, is a heart felt account of the lives of this couple and their family, told by their daughter and Author Linda Epp Sawatzky. A great sample of Canadian History.

The book was printed on actual linen fabric, and with the help of the masters over at Derksen Printers in Steinbach, Manitoba, a beautiful hard cover book was created.
