Song for Susie Epp

By Elma Schemenauer

It's 1970. Bashful Susie, a pill addict's daughter, sets out to build a better life for herself. Fellow Mennonite Simon loves Susie's courage-and her. He proposes. But marrying him comes with a pushy, sanctimonious mother-in-law. Adeline manipulates Susie and Simon into leaving their beloved British Columbia grassland and moving to her Saskatchewan farming community. There, a shocking secret plunges Simon into depression and drinking. As Susie struggles to find a way forward, she gains a new resilience, empathy, and understanding of faith and freedom.
