Reseña del libro "The Chronicles of a Journey: And the Stories Along the Way (en Inglés)"
The narrative non-fiction follows the author-from birth to age seventy-one. Born in a log cabin, in Mud Lake, QC. At age thirteen, the large family of twelve must relocate. They move to Sudbury, Ont. A stressful period of adjustment follows; first impressions of the mining town; living with poverty; the troubled teenage years; the shame of living in the "projects" (low-rental housing); first year of high school without fluency in English; the difficulties attendant upon a large family wrestling with poverty, and a father chronically unemployed; mother's strength of character keeps the family together.The book touches upon many subjects that have wide human appeal, regardless of social standing (or lack thereof). It talks about social, cultural, economic and political issues. It talks about feelings and things of the heart. It should identify and connect with a broad spectrum of society-it is said simply and honestly.The author introduces the reader to a wide variety of real stories and adventures; as a child and teenager; from a stint as an officer in the Canadian army, to teaching up north on the DEW Line, and finally, through his thirty-five-year career as a Social Worker with the Sudbury Municipal Social Services (welfare) Department.
