Oseredok invites you to an unforgettable evening with Myrna Kostash, a renowned literary and creative nonfiction writer, as we celebrate the launch of her latest book, “Ghosts in a Photograph.” Known for her passionate storytelling and wide-ranging interests, Myrna has captivated audiences worldwide with her unique blend of personal history and societal exploration.

In “Ghosts in a Photograph,” Myrna delves into her family’s history, exploring the lives of her grandparents, who immigrated to Alberta from Galicia in the early 1900s. Uncovering a trove of family mementos, she questions the narratives that shape her family’s past and whose history can prevail in Canada.

But this event isn’t just about celebrating literature; it’s also an opportunity to make a difference. Every $10 from Myrna Kostash’s book sale will contribute to Oseredok’s “Stand with Ukraine! Fund.” This fund was established in response to the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. It supports Ukrainian newcomers in Winnipeg by providing free English classes and facilitating their integration into the community.
