Book 121 of 500!

This book was called A Place of Refuge by Renae B. Vander Schaaf. I LOVED it! It was about a family who came from the Netherlands to live in Pella, Iowa. It was the history of the Dutch being in Pella and deciding to build a new homestead in Northwest Iowa which will eventually become Orange City, Iowa, which is where my dad and his family is from! There is a 2nd book that I have now that will continue on with this story and I can’t wait! I’ve learned so much more about my Dutch heritage, and Dutch history and Iowa history as well! Plus some Dutch words, too!!
