Mennonites Don't Dance

Darcie Friesen Hossack grew up in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, the daughter of a Mennonite mother and Seventh-day Adventist father. Traditions that may look similar from the outside, these faiths are oil to vinegar, mixing only when shaken. Quickly separating. Mennonites Don't Dance, Darcie's first book, won critical acclaim and landed on multiple shortlists, including the Commonwealth Prize. It was a finalist for the Danuta Gleed Award in 2011, a year dubbed "Year of the Short Story." Darcie lives near Jasper National Park in Hinton, Alberta.
