The Evan Bray Show - Lenore Focht - August 19th, 2025

Loading player...
A mom, teacher and rancher has just published a memoir about her experiences moving as a new mom from Regina to a small Saskatchewan town. She's fictionalized the town and the people in it, but newly-published Saskatchewan author and teacher, Lenore Focht, promises that Small-Town Chaos: Lessons on Country Life is far from made-up. Through humour and deeply personal stories, Focht shares her experiences living in small-town Saskatchewan and joins Brent Loucks to talk about what made her put pen to paper.
