Editorial Reviews

Review

...the tender and mysterious quality of Capp's square black-and-white portraits of young Hutterite women ... suggests the existence of an interior complexity within their beautifully plain exteriors. -- The New York Times Book Review, Andy Grundberg

[P]hotographer Kristin Capp has managed a near miracle in her creation of this deeply affecting book of black and white photographs: she convinced the Hutterite, who do not believe in the making of images, to allow her to photograph them. A work of consummate skill and great beauty. -- Salem [Oregon] Statesman-Journal, 12/8/98

5.0 out of 5 stars The photographs calm your spirit like a meditation., October 12, 1999

By A Customer

This is a book to return to over and over again. I've opened it in the midst of a hectic, demanding day and the clean black and white images made me feel refreshed and hopeful. The photographs embody a kind of peace I think we all yearn for.

5.0 out of 5 stars An eye-opening adventure of a grossly-misunderstood people!, July 11, 1999

By A Customer

My name is Simone. I live in Oklahoma. My family and I have evangelized and sang all over the U.S. and Canada. We met a colony of Hutterian Brethren through a church pastor whom lives in PincherCreek, Alberta, Canada, whom invited us to preached at his church. We became really good friends with the Hutterites. I have been communicating by phone and letter over 11 years with them. I found out from my Hutterite friend Janet Walter from Lamona, Wash. that this book was coming out. I have actual pictures from this book that I've had for years from past letters. The Hutterite people usually don't associate with outsiders, but, by extraordinary happenstance, if invited into their way of life, they will be your friends-for-life; always possessing a place in their hearts. The Hutterites live in colonies and are a hard-working, God-fearing, and family-focused people. I love the Hutterites . . . so will you!
