A note from Julie?

"Circle of Spirit" originated in a dream in 1995. Bear came to me in my dreams, and told me there was a book inside of me that needed to come into this world.

In the writings of his persona "Tex," Vernon-Wood created an image of the frontier that blended the West of his guiding experiences with the...

In Negotiated Memory, Julie Rak examines the ways in which autobiographical strategies have been employed by the Doukhobors themselves in order to retell and reclaim their own history.

Drawing from oral interviews, court documents, government reports, prison diaries, and...
