Coming Home: A Memoir

We all have a story to tell, be it long or short, truly blessed or full of challenges. Coming Home tells just such a story, starting from the author's humble beginnings as a shy, reclusive girl in a Mennonite community on Vancouver Island in the 1930s. From there, it follows the many twists and turns of her life, through her early school and work experiences, and learning to stand up for herself, to her marriage, divorce, and life as a single parent, right up to her eventual retirement from a career as a Registered Nurse. Replete with joy and sorrow, love and loss, hers has been a life well lived, and her story full of gems-moments big and small that capture beautifully the importance of family, having faith in oneself through adversity, and the redemptive power of love.
