Angela has been writing continuously since she was 14 years old. Not all her work, however, has been published. Four of her books are in the process of searching for a home.

St. Teresa Mystic as Mentor (2002) is Angela’s first foray into non-fiction. This work is a book of Buddhist spiritual ruminations and meditations inspired by the 16th Century Spanish Saint and mystic, St. Teresa of Avila. It is a motivating book for those who are hungry and searching for an interfaith perspective to topics such as faith, devotion, obedience, trust, and love. This was written initially as part of her Masters Project.

Because of Baba (1995) was written by Angela in the mid-nineties and again is innovative in form. The work chronicles the main character, Katya’s Ukrainian-Canadian heritage and upbringing and the influence of her grandmother, baba had on her life. This is juxtaposed with the main character’s attempts to reconcile her Ukrainian identity with the Anglo neighborhood and social codes that envelop her.

In 1985 Angela Hryniuk received a Canada Council grant to write Beneath the Underground, her first novel. Told in journal entries, poetry, prose, maps, letters, this is a collage in form about a 16 year-olds journey to the United Kingdom to be with a lover 12 years her senior. The story is an adventure of a lost adolescent searching for love, acceptance and approval…in all the wrong places.
