59 pages. "This is the autobiography of the poet-artist from the unremembered to the closing years of her life. She was born of pioneering families who came to Vancouver Island near the middle of the nineteenth century, when the forests, lakes, rivers and the sea coasts were untouched by industry. Influenced by her mother's French artistic people from the Baie des Chaleurs, and her father's philosophical family from Ontario which embraced vegetarian and natural living, she inherited a strange pathway in life.
