Red skies of battle rage through the Mennonite colonies as Red and White factions continue to requisition, recruit and advance their positions. Ongoing strife and accompanying drought result in severe famine and disease, and the worst enemy of all—fear.

Johann Suderman works with Benjamin Janz to secure permission for Mennonite emigration, but they are faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles at every turn. Meanwhile, Katarina attempts to sustain her family and friends amid chaos and uncertainty, and Paul Gregorovich Tekanin tries to survive in anonymity.

The Mennonites of South Russia face a fierce struggle for faith and survival as their dreams are dashed one by one, yet they cling to the hope that God will yet intervene and speak to them as he did to Job, "out of the storm."

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An interesting story of one of the most turbulent periods in Mennonite History, the Russian Revolution. Compelling." -- Helmut T. Huebert, author of Mennonite Historical Atlas

"I am deeply moved. A tremendous gift to the Mennonite church as well as to the global community." -- Joanne Hess Siegrist, author, historian, and photographer

"Janice Dick has brought to life effectively the personalities with all the resulting emotions." -- Henry Braun, educator and administrator

"Janice Dick knows how to paint scenes that appeal to all the senses . . . pockets of language sparkle." -- Canadian Mennonite

"Out of the Storm, weaves a story of failure and faith in adversity." -- Hugo Jantz, missionary and preacher

From the Publisher

"With the publication of this third novel, Out of the Storm, Janice L. Dick has completed her moving and stimulating trilogy. Dick confronts, in a finely nuanced fashion, the dilemma many Mennonites felt about leaving the emerging Soviet state and starting life in Canada, the country that was to become for them the true Promised Land."—Richard A. Rempel, professor of history, McMaster University

"An intricate tale of persecution, courage, and passion. Lovers of historical fiction will delve deep into this story and not want to give it up until the final page is turned."—Janelle Clare Schneider, author

Janice L. Dick has been writing since 1989. Her first two historical novels, Calm Before the Storm and Eye of the Storm, won first place in the historical fiction category of The Word Guild's Canadian Writing Awards. The third novel in the series, Out of the Storm, was short-listed for the same award.

These three novels were re-released under her own imprint, Tansy & Thistle Press, in 2020 and 2021.

Janice has also written a second historical fiction series called In Search of Freedom. Again, it is based on the stories of Mennonites from South Russia, since that is the author's heritage.

Besides historical fiction, Janice also writes long and short contemporary fiction, book reviews, blogs and non-fiction articles. Her first contemporary cozy series, The Happenstance Chronicles, currently features four books: The Road to Happenstance, Crazy About Maisie, Gossip & Grace, and Secrets & Second Chances.

Janice is the first winner of the Janette Oke Award, presented by InScribe Christian Writer’s Fellowship in 2016.

Janice writes from her farm home on the Saskatchewan prairies of Canada. She and her husband love farm life and enjoy their family of three married children and their spouses, and eleven grandchildren.

This is a wonderfully researched historical novel (emphasis on historical!). The series of 3 is just in the packaging. In fact, the three are really one consistently delivered story! The writer so accurately captures the Mennonite values & character. I thank you as a woman and as a fellow ethnic.

This book is a fairly accurate, if fictional, account of the Mennonites leaving the Russia after the Bolsevik revolution. Having had relatives who had to do this very thing and others who have researched the situation, it is a great depiction of what they went through. There was definitely discrimination and persecution involved. It is very worth reading.
