Overview

Wander Back to Saskatchewan for a taste of farm auctions, a day at the fair and a go at Saskatchewan farm life in the 1940s and '50s. This is the story of Maggie Andersen whose abusive childhood contributes to hopelessness and anxiety. She stops talking when she is nine years old. A life changing event causes Maggie to understand how important her voice actually is. She realizes she can make a difference. We need each other, and we all have something to say . Bobby Fiske lives across the road. Despite the advantage of a solid, loving home and family, this young man loses all hope and perspective. The book encourages those who suffer from depression to speak up, share the dark feelings, and reach out for help. To friends and family standing by, the message is clear - never give up, watch like a hawk for danger signals and keep the line of communication wide open. The heart-breaking tragedy of suicide is addressed, but a powerful sense of hope is woven throughout the story. Is someone you love in despair? If so, this is the book for you! Are you looking for a good old-fashioned prairie tale? Then, this is also the book for you! Enjoy!

Author Information

I fell in love with stories at my mother's knee. She spun tales that made us shiver, shake, sob and giggle, and she always left us begging for more. I have told stories to myself all my life and finally, now, I'm expanding my audience! I was born and raised on a Canadian prairie farm, where I was immersed in the security of loving friends and family. Whether hiking in a foreign country or caregiving in my Alberta home, at the end of the day, my stories are all about people.
