The oldest son of Mennonite immigrants in rural British Columbia, Walter grew up with a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn new skills. Between jobs, and unsure of his path in life, an ad for an introductory flying lesson would change everything.
Tricia's Story

Available in paperback. Pre-order the paperback ->
Two countries. Two journeys intersecting. The By Happenstance series tells the stories of Tricia and Walter Harms – before they were anyone's parents – through their own memories, photographs, and the moments that lead them to meet in Telegraph Creek, British Columbia.
This series is part of a larger project exploring how to capture the stories of the people we love. Find out more.
Resilience in the Rubble
A True Tale of Aid and Survival in Kashmir
"Is recovery from a disaster of this scale even possible?"
In the aftermath of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, paramedic Kathy Harms arrives as a first-time aid worker, confronted by suffering on an unimaginable scale. Nineteen-year-old Nadeem Malik has lost his home and must find a way to shelter his family before winter. Their stories — one an outsider, one a survivor — weave together into a portrait of devastation, connection, and the stubbornness of the human spirit.
