Autorenporträt
Author Elizabeth Meyer's family immigrated to Canada, sacrificing much to give her and her siblings a better life than they ever would have found in the old country and providing them with a solid foundation for prosperous (if humble) lives. But what they didn't leave behind for her generation and those that would follow were their stories-those small gems of insight into who they were as people (and what their lives had been like) that would keep them alive for future generations. And as a young person, she had never thought to ask. Pained by the many missed opportunities to learn more about them while they were still alive, and not wanting her own children and grandchildren to feel similar pangs, this book (at its core) was written for them, though she hopes that her journey will resonate with others as well. In her eighties now, Elizabeth is a member of the Comox Valley Writers Society, and still lives on her own in a duplex in Courtenay, British Columbia, where she enjoys reading, gardening, and spending time with her son and daughter, who both live nearby, as well as her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who visit occasionally.
