Synopsis
The book starts in PEI, Canada, where the Macintosh Family decide to move West, where the pot-o-gold was a stretch of black fertile soil alive with a sea of golden wheat waving before them. This typical family, part of a vibrant group of Canadian dreamers and visionaries braved the dark lean days on the prairies to carve out a new life for themselves. While gambling their lives to fulfill their dreams they meet black blizzards, drought and Influenza but there is comedy as well, much seen through the eyes of the children. There is a cast of memorable characters as the burgeoning family with few possessions face the difficulties of the 1920's, one, the May third blizzard that buried the prairies in three feet of snow while a blizzard blew for three days. These are real people living through real events with often uncommon bravery.
About the Author
After retiring from teaching school, Lillian started writing. What started to be one book of family memoirs, became a trilogy of historical novels about the MacIntosh Family who travelled west to the Canadian prairies. The urge to restore important moments lost to time took over. She wanted to tell their real stories - from their memoirs - with actual names of people and places and yet write a novel that readers could live in - be part of. So, the books became Creative Non-Fiction.
An active member of her community, she has two sons and is now a widow. She enjoys music and has played in a band with her husband for many years.

It's hard to imagine how life could get any more difficult. A little rented shack, baby after baby, no running water, storms, a mean landlady, sickness...And yet this family had love and fun times. This author makes you feel like you were there.
