Radio Interview Rebroadcast

On January 8, 2017, Radio station Northumberland 89.7 rebroadcast my interview with Word on the Hills. In the interview I explain how I came to write the book Grace and read two passages — the first on Grace’s haircut when she was a teenager, and the second on what she did to discipline a young student at a one-room school near Norwood. Both readings illustrate Grace’s determination and creativity. Listen at www.wordonthehills.com.

Grace: A teacher’s life, one-room schools, and a century of change in Ontario is available locally at Lighthouse Books in Brighton, Kerr’s Corner Books in Campbellford, and Books and Company in Picton. See the How to Order page for other bookstores in Ontario and how to order a copy by mail.

Radio Interview – listen in
I’m delighted to share a small joy. Last month I was interviewed for a radio program – Word on the Hills (Northumberland 89.7) in Cobourg. Co-hosts Felicity Sidnell-Reid and Gwynn Scheltema asked the questions. I talked about my experiences in writing Grace and why I chose to feature a hibiscus in the story. In each of the two segments, I read a story from the book. The program was broadcast on Nov 22, 2015.
