Miriam Sargeant Laster: Her Improbable Journey is the story of a woman who refused to be defined by where she started. Growing up in a Victorian house on the wrong side of the tracks, early encounters with music, faith, and a pivotal guidance counsellor helped set her on a course no one might have predicted. From ivy-covered college walls to life as an au pair in Europe, from love and new beginnings to marriage, motherhood, and graduate school — Miriam's life unfolds as a series of quiet but transformative leaps. Sabbaticals brought renewal, a return to education opened new horizons, and a professional partnership in Iowa brought her full circle. Told with warmth and reflection, this is the improbable journey of a woman who kept saying yes to what came next.
