Hear from Maria Moore about her book, "The Silenced Path".
Join local author Maria Moore for a powerful and heartfelt discussion of her book "The Silenced Path".
In this deeply personal presentation, Maria shares the true story of her Old Colony Mennonite upbringing, the trauma that divided her family, and the institutionalization of her sister Gerda at the Edgar Adult Occupational Centre in Ontario.
Through storytelling, reflection, and readings from the book, Maria explores themes of silence, resilience, faith, family separation, and healing. She speaks candidly about the impact of institutional life, the long shadow of generational trauma, and how nature and the forest became a pathway toward kindness, understanding, and acceptance.
This event offers an opportunity for meaningful conversation about hidden histories, disability, cultural identity, and the power of sharing untold stories. A Q&A will follow.
