But that means these two women who have spent their whole lives in Philadelphia, one of the busiest cities on the east coast, must travel to Independence Missouri then overland by wagon train to Astoria Oregon. This book is a heartwarming story about two young women starting a whole new life far from home. Colette never expected to find love again, not after years of being happily married to Elliot, but Quentin has also known heartbreak and together they slowly rebuild their lives.

Individual destinies collide on this journey to Oregon, with unexpected events along the way changing lives forever. You get two wagon train stories in this book and two love stories. Meet Wyatt, Quentin and baby Charlie. Meet Buck, Ansel and Burley, all tough men used to a hard life on the frontier. Meet Abe, Charity and Pike, a family heading to the gold fields of California who help two city girls cope with their new life as they travel across country in a wagon train.

Download or read book Becoming Me written by Betty Lunam and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-09-11 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a single mother raising five children in the sixties, Betty Lunam is no stranger to struggle. Born in rural Québec in the midst of the Depression, Betty’s first marriage, to a member of the Canadian Air Force, would take her all over the country, following her husband’s postings. But as his behaviour takes increasingly erratic and violent turns, Betty is forced to flee with her children back to Québec, to be near her family, where she starts a new chapter, buying her own house at the height of the FLQ crisis, pursuing a career in nursing, and learning to take on a man’s role as well as a woman’s in the home during a time when single motherhood still had a pretty bad rap. Betty’s extraordinary memoir take us from different towns and villages in the Province of Québec to Vancouver Island and back. This is the story of how, against all odds, a young divorcée was able to start over, time and time again—first, to raise her five children while working as a graduate nurse; later, with an empty nest, to marry the love of her life, bringing her back to the Comox Valley where her family first started and settling into a new and peaceful life as a passionate environmentalist, artist, and naturalist. Initially written for her children, Becoming Me is sure to interest readers beyond the dear friends and family who populate her memories. Candidly narrated—oftentimes with a sense of humour—the challenges Betty has faced over the course of her life will resonate with anyone who has had to start over.

Download or read book The Livres souvenirs of Colette written by Anne Freadman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout her career, Colette experimented with genre for the purposes of telling stories of her life. The books that resulted, known collectively as her 'livres-souvenirs', are far from being autobiographies in the customary sense. By addressing the need to reconsider the generic issues surrounding autobiographical story-telling, Anne Freadman's study brings the richness of 'the genre question' to the fore, shedding a fresh light on this much-loved body of work. From the vignettes ofLa Maison de Claudineto the note-books ofL'etoile vesper andLe Fanal bleu, from stories of losing to stories of collecting, Colette's memory books take different narrative forms and explore the passing of time in different ways. This book investigates Colette's variegated generic choices as so many ways of 'telling time'.
