This Then Was Home

A collection of stories and favourite recipes by the Ottawa Valley's most beloved storyteller and best-selling author, Mary Cook. As all Mary's fans know, Mary believes that the connections we have with family and those we love are all-important, and her stories highlight that no matter how hard things get, family, neighbours and friends are what make life worthwhile. This lovely book includes a perennial calendar for recording the special dates you want to remember, such as birthdays and anniversaries. Almonte, Ontario, artist Rosemary Leach created the special cover artwork.
