My Mother's Story: North Vancouver
Book information
Description
How have 20th century women really lived? My Mother's Story asks people to write the story of their mothers' lives from beginning to end, without embellishment, telling "just the facts ma'am" in 2000 words. The 41 stories collected here were submitted for consideration to be in a professional theatre production in North Vancouver, Canada which used these stories to tell the history of a community. Eight stories were chosen to be told on stage but all stories are in this book. Against the backdrop of headline news, they tell stories of wealth, poverty, abuse, adoption, arranged marriages, heartache and joy in countries all over the world, their common thread being a daughter who now lives in North Vancouver. Second in a series on the extraordinary lives of ordinary women. www.mymothersstory.org.
