The art style was simple yet beautiful and has a lot of panels depic ing nature which I absolutely loved and it did take me to the place or mindset of the place that Dyck is showcasing. I didn't know a thing about Mennonite's but I do know the basic history of how Canada has been built on stolen land and that is one of the prominent point. The nuanced portrayal of how most of them think that they are doing the right thing or that they have the right belief is challenged by the different perspectives that Dyck has chosen to introduce us.
Karen trying to leave notes to communicate with the reader, that the book is filled with some propaganda of conservative church was truly something and the last few pages of how she drives to the protest site with her homemade jam made me hopeful that people can change
This was a wonderful graphic novel :')
