Janzen’s memoir is a very funny story of “going home again” to her close, conservative family after her husband leaves her for another man and she is seriously injured in a car accident. The love and support she feels by reentering a community that she had long since abandoned, in effect, reminds her of the teachings of the Mennonite faith, and of the willingness to help and the need we, as humans, have for the desire to have people rally for us in times of strife. At times a fish out of water story, it is also not that, as Janzen is returning, but with a more worldly view of the outside community. Very funny, only 257 pages.

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
