A night of music and literature organized in part by Blyth author Emily Wierenga is set for Jan. 24 in Wingham to benefit Bethany Homes For Children. Wierenga, who penned the book Save My Children, a history of Bethany Homes, its founders and the children who passed through its doors, will be reading from her book that night hoping to garner donations for the home. The benefit will run from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Coffee Culture in Wingham. There will be no charge for admission, but organizers are asking for a donation. In addition to Wierenga reading from Save My Children, which will be on sale that night, two faith-based musical acts, Elsa Jayne of Waterloo and Turn On The Waterworks from Stratford will be performing as well. Wierenga met both Jayne and the members of Turn On The Waterworks when they all participated in a recent art showcase in Waterloo. Save My Children was released in September, and Wierenga says the book has been doing well. It has just recently popped up on Amazon.ca for sale. Wierenga had worked with troubled teenagers with her husband Trenton during their time in Alberta, where Bethany Homes sits. After meeting the home’s founder Harvey Jesperson, Wierenga was commissioned to write the home’s story for a book that was to be released in collaboration with its 60th anniversary celebration earlier this year. The book focuses on the home and the children the Jespersons oversaw during their time there. Harvey, who is now 90-years-old, no longer works with children at the home and his wife, Elsie, passed on years ago. Wierenga began working as an editor for a Christian newspaper in Alberta before taking on the project. She has also written for Adbusters, Christian Week and Faith Today, in addition to appearing on 100 Huntley Street and The Drew Marshall Show to share the story of her own troubled childhood, struggling with anorexia nervosa between the ages of nine and 13. Wierenga is currently working on another commissioned project surrounding a Winnipeg family who recently lost their daughter.
