Description

One morning Mel Toews put on his coat and hat and walked out of town, prepared to die.

A loving husband and father, faithful member of the Mennonite church, and immensely popular schoolteacher, he was a pillar of his close-knit community.

Yet after a lifetime of struggle, he could no longer face the darkness of manic depression.

With razor-sharp precision,Swing Low tells his story in his own voice, taking us deep inside the experience of despair.

But it is also a funny, winsome evocation of country life: growing up on farm, courting a wife, becoming a teacher, and rearing a happy, strong family in the midst of private torment.

A humane, inspiring story of a remarkable man, father, and teacher.
