Sixteen-year-old Kristen has had quite enough of following her evangelical parents’ copious rules. But although up to her neck in both disobedience and discipline, she, nevertheless, suddenly finds herself at the heart of a mystery more profound than anything her willful imagination could have conjured. A challenge so deep that it will affect not only her own fate, but that of the species itself. And, ironically, it will require all of the power of her remaining faith in attempting to overcome it.


A coming-of-age story in the widest and most important sense, Loewen’s characters will, at first, dismay and then inspire as we follow his plucky and precocious heroine and her intellectual beau straight into the abyss of life’s meaning in our own time.

Canadian social philosopher G.V. Loewen is the author of over 20 books in diverse areas such as ethics, religion, art, education and politics. He was a professor for a quarter of a century in Canada and the USA. This is his first short-story collection.

    Sixteen-year-old Kristen has had quite enough of following her evangelical parents' copious rules. But although up to her neck in both disobedience and discipline, she, nevertheless, suddenly finds herself at the heart of a mystery more profound than anything her willful imagination could have conjured. A challenge so deep that it will affect not only her own fate, but that of the species itself. And, ironically, it will require all of the power of her remaining faith in attempting to overcome it. A deftly scripted, unfailing engaging, coming-of-age story, "Forgetting the Dreamtime" showcases novelist Gregory Victor Loewen's genuine flair for originality, narrative storytelling, and developing memorable characters. While especially and unreservedly for highschool and community library YA Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that "Forgetting the Dreamtime" is also available in a paperback edition (9781788784290, $14.95) and in a digital book format (Kindle, $4.51).
