Monica Yuzak

February 03rd, 2026

Her first love, travel, carried Monica Yuzak far beyond her childhood in a small northern Saskatchewan town and into a life shaped by movement, medicine and motherhood. Yuzak traces her journey from newly minted doctor and young mother to a woman living and working across Papua New Guinea, the Northwest Territories and New Zealand, always chasing experience and perspective in Never Still (Tellwell $19.99). When her daughter became a teenager, Yuzak kept a promise to settle in Vancouver, discovering that restlessness can evolve into a deeper way of seeing—one rooted as much in attention as in geography. Part memoir, part reflection on belonging, Never Still captures a life defined by curiosity, courage and continual motion.  9781779620644
