Maria Moore
This is the debut novel of Maria Moore (she/her) . She spent the first years of her life as an Old Colony Mennonite in Mexico. Her life exposed her to abuse which was also the life that her mother endured. Generational trauma and the murder of her father are the foundations with which she was provided at a young age. Through education (as a registered nurse) she has learned how to take the shame of her past to educate and empower others with similar challenges. She has written a book – Not My Kind of Mennonite – to bring attention to the struggles of her parents as they moved out of the colony and tried to make a life in Canada. A murder, a criminal trial, addiction, mental health struggles, abuse and the breakdown of a family set the tone of this true story.
