About the event
Join author Susan Garrod-Schuster for an engaging talk about her debut book, Biography of a Woman – A Journey Through the Self. This powerful true story follows Chau, a Vietnamese woman who fled her homeland as a refugee and rebuilt her life in Canada. Through poetic vignettes, the book explores themes of trauma, identity, and resilience as Chau finds her voice and purpose in a new land.
During this hour-long talk, Susan will share the origins of the book, behind-the-scenes moments that didn’t make it to print, and thoughtful updates on the family’s journey since the book’s release.Susan brings deep insight to the story, shaped by her own experience as an immigrant and a 30-year career as a minister, chaplain, and university instructor. Now retired, she writes full-time, capturing the extraordinary in everyday lives. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
