MaryLou Driedger has been writing for a very LONG time, in fact, you may know she was a columnist for The Carillon newspaper based in Steinbach for over 35 years, she's written for many publications and now, she's just completed a book!

It is called "Lost on the Prairie" and it has been on the McNally Robinson best seller list for 8 weeks!! 

 

 

Wow -- a disappearance in a new country, a young man re-appearing... and the mystery of that time. It's that missing time that Mary found the space to write the fictional account of what happened. Mary Lou also spoke about the multi-generational nature of this book, the research she put into it, and a connection to Indigenous people along the way.

 

 

"Lost on the Prairie" at bookstores across Canada including McNally Robinson booksellers in Winnipeg, "Village Books and Gifts" in the Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach, and online -- on Amazon and Indigo.
