Mennonite valley girl : a wayward coming of age / Carla Funk. by Funk, Carla, 1974- Greystone Books, 2021. Call #: 289.7092 F982m Subjects Funk, Carla, 1974- -- Childhood and youth.   Mennonites -- British Columbia -- Vanderhoof -- Biography.   Poets, Canadian (English) -- 21st century -- Biography.   Mennonites -- Biography.   Mennonite women -- Biography.   Vanderhoof (B.C.) -- Biography. ISBN:  9781771645157 (hc.) Description:  282 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  "Carla Funk is a teenager with her hands on the church piano keys and her feet edging ever closer to the flames. Coming of age in a remote and forested valley -- a place rich in Mennonites, loggers, and dutiful wives who submit to their husbands -- she knows her destiny is to marry, have babies, and join the church ladies’ sewing circle. But she feels an increasing urge to push the limits of her religion and the small town that cannot contain her desires for much longer. In poignant and hilarious stories, Funk chronicles her 1980s adolescence in all its awkward glory: from summer bible camp to forbidden school dances, from questionable makeovers to hair-raising pranks. Through it all runs the longing to make her life into a new and different story, as she asks the questions we all must face about where we come from and who we want to be. At once an affectionate coming-of-age tale and a contemplation on meaning, morality, and destiny, 'Mennonite Valley girl' is about the places we all long to escape -- even if they are the same places that define us."--From publisher.
