Autorenporträt
DOROTHY PULLAN READ was born in Brighton, Ontario, Canada, and spent most of her childhood at Presquile Provincial Park, exploring nature and her empty heart. Her father came to Canada from England in 1928. He was always a quiet man, a loner. He never spoke of his childhood or his family. His life was a mystery to her until she found letters he wrote to her mother during their courtship. Those letters were the inspiration to write his story. She believes we all have a story to tell and hopes that by sharing a little of hers, she will inspire others to do the same. This is her attempt at imagining what his life was like. She currently lives in St Catharines, Ontario, Canada.dorothypullanread@outlook.co
