Special
Book!
A friend of mine, Pat
Bear Claw, has authoured a very special autobiography of her
first 16
years growing up in relative isolation in Northern Ontario. She is a
Storyteller now and listening to her is spellbinding. She will be
featured on the "Book & Publications" section that will soon be
uploaded in the new year. As we join each other in keeping the 'wolves
away from the door' I will be selling her book, "Another World" on my
site.

This is one of the
reviews that was
published, unfortunately the
sources have been forgotten but I think it puts across the story:
"It
is a rare opportunity to
hear a "voice from the wilderness" and few
are as candid as the voice of storyteller Pat Andrew who grew up on the
traplines in northwestern
Ontario.
Her
childhood
stories weave a
graphic picture of what it was like to
grow up as the daughter of a trapper, living with four other people in
a one-room cabin near Red Lake. Her stories contain the rich scope of
her experience in the north: bitter, sweet, passionate, sad, cruel and
intimate. They are stories of how a little girl learned to survive
hardship and hunger by living from one hope to another. They are
stories of the things her father taught her: how to swim, make alder
whistles and understand the personalities of the trees.
Two
worlds are
traversed in
"Another World"--the world of the
wilderness , and the urban world. The second half of the stories
concern Andrews" crossing over, and the time she spent in
Winnipeg as a 16 year old nanny in a 25 -room house. "
