Autorenporträt
Born in 1947 of Irish and French Canadian parentage, Helen was raised in Quebec City. The family moved to Barbados in 1964, where Helen met the man who would become her husband of 60 years, raising three sons in the tropical paradise. Retired, they now summer in Gatineau, QC, and winter in Barbados.Helen obtained a History and French literature degree at the University of the West Indies whilst working as a secondary-school teacher. In her retirement she writes and translates for Rotary. Growing up she adored listening to her grandmother Alida Tremblay's stories about life in small-town Chicoutimi. Such stories became the inspiration to write her first novel, I Could Have Been. This led to researching her Tremblay roots, providing the material for this second novel, They Came to Stay.
