“Yes, it is genetic. This mutation happened because you are Mennonites.” The doctor’s words felt like an indictment of their heritage of faith and the God who had preserved it. Combining one family’s story with fascinating research on genetic disease, A Fragile Heritage traces the strands of heritage, faith, and mutation through generations and addresses questions about genetic mutations resulting from the overlapping ancestry of many Mennonites and Amish today.
