Jonah’s Daughter

While training to become a nurse in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Sedelia Lawson struggles to discover who she is and who she must be in order to achieve happiness in life. Questions of faith, morals and family connections are raised during her journey as a young woman as she uncovers the truth about love, sacrifice and her relationship with God.

M.C. Conacher lives on a farm with her husband near the village of Mervin, Saskatchewan. She has always loved to write and moving to the family farm has allowed her to spend more time indulging in the pastime. Jonah's Daughter is her third published book.

Instrumental Guitar

Rather than confusing people by her last name, Rachel Fowlie-Neufeld uses FERN as a "clever" moniker for her foray onto Saskatoon's folk music scene. With encouragement from friends and members of the Ray Whitton band, she has been showcasing a mix of originals and covers at coffee shop gigs and open mic nights for the past year and a half.

Sometimes solo, sometimes accompanied by viola (Michael Peterson), FERN is slowly building an audience around town. Perhaps these musical shenanigans have been encouraged by a disproportionate caffeine:blood ratio, but have nevertheless led to a love of exploring and performing music. An EP is in the works for 2012.
