Brief book review from Annette Cope, school teacher from Australia

Thank you very much for the copy of your book, Riding the Tides of
Life. I have finished reading it and found it excellent. I have worked
with a colleague who suffered a severe bipolar disorder requiring
hospitalization and can really identify with your description of
Greta's actions and reactions. In the time we were in Canada we became
very impressed with the pride First Nation people have for their
heritage and the real effort being made to pass on stories and
traditions to the younger generations. It was therefore most
interesting to read how you told the story in such a way as to really
portray the effect that Greta being a citizen of the Metis Nation of
Ontario had on her beliefs, interests and relationships. I found the
story really interesting and am keen to encourage others to also read
it. Annette Cope, school teacher from Australia
