After The Lights Go On Againby Stella Thompson McInnis |
|
|
We all come into this world not knowing what is ahead for us. My life started on a rocky road, I was born premature and not expected to live. Somehow God has seen me through my life’s ‘ups and downs’. This book recounts my memories of being a young child, living through six years of World War Two in England which I now think gave me much strength and helped to mold my character. The book carries over to describe my later years until I left England to live in Canada in 1957 at the age of 22. My early years had many sad times but there was also much laughter of life with my two brothers and sister. I hope you enjoy this first book and will look for the sequel about my life in Canada. $2 from each book will be donated to World Vision Children’s Fund.

Northern Memoriesby Marjorie Irene Aimé |
|
|
I began this book in 1975 after my first husband, Bert, retired and we moved to Edmonton. One day I was looking through an album of northern pictures and decided to write a little account of my life in the north for my boys, Donald and Ted. I thought it would help them to remember what life was like when they were growing up. The notes were put aside because of family tragedies and not revived again until I moved to Fort McMurray. Then — with much prodding from my husband Harry — I began to write again. |

Overalls, Red Serge and Robesby Harry Hampton Aimé |

Life and Adventure in the Great Canadian North As a young farm boy in Clandeboye, Manitoba, Harry dreamed about the fascinating exploits and adventures of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He signed up as a young man and spent the next 25 years with the RCMP. His career included many years in Canada’s north. In and around Fort Rae, he was able to witness Native traditions and values in an era when most of the Native people lived year-round in tents, prior to the tremendous cultural upheaval— and the dramatic changes—of the twentieth century.

Saudadeby Barb Beecroft-Berard |
|
“I choose not to live my life ‘flat-line’ but to revel in the mountain peaks and valleys of emotion. I don’t get a great deal of calm and quiet at my job so I search it out whenever and wherever I can. We all need to have that balance in our lives,” says Barb Beecroft-Berard. “I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta but now reside in Red Deer. I love the proximity to every natural area in our region – mountains, lakes, natural trails and even dinosaurs!” |

This Far By Faithby Audrey M. DeMaere |

FAITH… To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1 (The Living Bible) “It is impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists, and that he cares.
