FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Connie Brummel Crook has been shortlisted for the Geoffrey Bilson Award

Meyers' Creek

Never before has an author so successfully combined a young girl's personal obstacles and victories with the harsh realities of living as the daughter of a United Empire Loyalist during the 1780's in Canada.

Mary Meyers and her family, after adjusting to their new home in the rugged forests of Ontario, attempt to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. Their road to reclamation is filled with hardship and adventure, love and despair, and the constant struggle for survival.

Although Meyers' Creek stands on its own, it is the continuation of the Meyers family saga that began with Flight.
