This memoir of a childhood in constant flux and readjustment is this woman's candid perspective on life, uncertainty, and the struggles and joys of a large family that included a brother, Felix, who was born mute and with hydrocephalus. Entering adulthood and setting out to Saint John, NB, to establish her own footing, she encounters yet more challenges: marriage, moving back to Ontario and raising two children while juggling a career, and even being in the spotlight as a pastor's wife. With so many people these days whose lives are constantly uprooted, René's story offers encouragement and a true sense of the way home. This is a collection of heartwarming stories, hardships, depression, seeking and triumph.
