About this title

Synopsis

I Lived, I Loved, I Changed My Mind
The Life & Loves of Alma Rogers

Born in 1926 to Mennonite immigrants who fled turmoil in what is now Ukraine, Alma Rogers grew up on the Saskatchewan prairie in a world shaped by faith, hard work, and community.

She began life believing what she was taught.

She ended life thinking for herself.

This deeply personal Canadian memoir traces one woman’s journey through nearly a century of change — from Depression-era prairie childhood to political life in Ottawa, from raising nine children to rebuilding life after divorce, from traditional Christianity to a wider, more compassionate spirituality.

Along the way, Alma writes candidly about:

Growing up Mennonite in rural Saskatchewan
Immigration roots and prairie resilience
Life inside Canadian federal politics in the 1960s
The monarchy, the flag debate, and national identity
Losing two children and living with grief
Accepting and embracing her gay son
Questioning religion without abandoning love
Aging with humour, independence, and clarity

Her voice is warm, observant, and quietly fearless. She does not attack institutions in anger. She simply outgrows them. She does not cling to certainty. She chooses compassion instead.

At ninety years old, Alma wrote this book in her own words. She believed one thing above all:

God is love.
Kindness matters.
And changing your mind is not weakness — it is growth.

For readers who appreciate:

Prairie family histories
Spiritual journeys beyond dogma
Canadian social history
Late-life wisdom
Multigenerational family memoirs
Stories of mothers who choose humanity over doctrine

Alma lived ninety-seven years.

She lived fully.
She loved fiercely.
And yes, she changed her mind.

That, she believed, was the point.
