Mennonite Valley Girl is out TODAY!❤️

For fans of Miriam Toews, @carlafunk’s memoir is a hilarious and radiant return to the 80s.👖🔥

“In luminous prose that effortlessly portrays the intimate and familiar pangs of growing up, Funk captivates from the get-go.”— @PublishersWkly

@SageNorth @greystonebooks @WCA_LitAgency Thank you, Lily!

Mennonite Valley Girl, circa 1991. Lunch break in the school parking lot and we were a chaste cocktail of Au Coton and Esprit with our baggy denim "lock and roll" pant cuff technique on full display. #Mennonite #Vanderhoof #ComingOfAge #memoir

[Carla Funk @carlafunk]

Five more days until my memoir Mennonite Valley Girl officially hits the shelves. Watch for her in her acid-washed jeans, frosty blue mascara, and spiral perm. She'll be carrying a ghetto blaster in one hand and a Bible in the other.

Thank you to @WinnipegNews for including @carlafunk’s Mennonite Valley Girl and Edith Blais’ The Weight of Sand in their Fall #nonfiction lineup! 😍📚
