Look for the forthcoming volume, Windows to a Village (Pandora Press), which will tell the life stories of a number of people who once called Yarrow, BC home. Edited by Harvey Neufeldt, Maryann Jantzen and Robert Martens, the book attempts to recreate the hothouse atmosphere of this once ethnically Mennonite village.
