Reflections in a Farmhouse Window

Marilyn Frey's heart-warming memoir draws you into a much simpler time in the '60s and '70s, growing up on a farm in central Saskatchewan where hard work and discipline helped develop a strong work ethic and character.
Covering the full range of emotions from chuckle-out-loud humour to wiping your eyes sadness, Marilyn takes you along as she advances into early adulthood and recounts humorous escapades and some more disheartening incidents. A missing child, an up-close grapple with a bear, and some unexplained heavenly encounters are some of the events that Marilyn details before transitioning to her final stories, including her lonely life on the road, a break-in, and her sister's untimely death. Marilyn illustrates how the small things in life often hold the most significant meaning and, ultimately, the greatest learning.
"Here is the story of a life told the way life unfolds-as a series of events recalled and rearranged like keepsakes in a curio cabinet filled with the beautiful, the broken. This remarkable collection is honest and compelling."-Praise for Reflections in a Farmhouse Window from well-known Saskatchewan author of Black Umbrella, Katherine Lawrence.
