Prairie Lands, Private Landscapes
Prairie Lands, Private Landscapes: Reframing a Mennonite Childhood is a stunning and heartfelt tribute to the power of memory and the importance of cultural heritage. In this poignant and evocative book, the author takes us on a journey through his own personal history, sharing with us his struggles and triumphs and his quest for self-discovery and meaning.
“Prairie Lands, Private Landscapes is not organized chronologically, but rather, like Lauren’s life, carves a path that sometimes doubles back on itself, to pick up strands of influences that shaped his commitment to his roots and at the same time refining. . .elements of those roots in a way that allowed him to fulfill a calling he could not deny.”
