A memoir of a town mouse meeting a country mouse in the 1970s and ’80s on the Canadian Prairies. Through song, her story begins as a child navigating familial love, community expectations, longing, and dreams. As time moves forward, will her past be her guide, her hope, or her downfall? Join the story of love, attachment, misadventure, and the quest for belonging. Step into the past with Cheryl, a prairie soul on a heartwarming journey through the complexity of her simple world.
