Testimonials
?The book is amazing! You did an incredible amount of research. I don?t know how you found all the information you did on past generations and then made sense of it. It is a very interesting read. I can?t thank you enough for this great remembrance of my mother.? ?Sharon MacLeod, Finch, Ontario ?Writing about your own personal life experiences is in equal parts awkward, frustrating and rewarding. Marie has the gift of looking beyond the anecdotes and finding that consistent thread that REALLY reveals the person. For me, she took the awkward and frustrating out of the narrative and delivered a most rewarding experience.? ?David Simpson, Director, Ivey Business Families Centre, Author of Work Hard, Have Fun and Keep Smiling ?I want to compliment you on...putting together such a professional and enjoyable package. It is one thing to pull together quotes and anecdotes; it is extremely difficult to ensure these not only provide a cogent narrative, but do so in the subject?s own ?voice.? As I read the book I could easily visualize and hear my Aunt Lillian telling her story...? ?PCM, Quebec
