I indeed feel blessed and fortunate to have been born to parents who nurtured and helped me grow within a loving household in the quaint little Acadian village of St-Joseph-Du-Moine on Cape Breton Island. My mother was a hard worker, a great cook, and enjoyed a joke or two, but most of all, she had a passion for music. Every day, she played the piano to her heart’s content, and my siblings and I loved every moment. My father was a hard-working individual, comical in his own way, and loved to tell us stories.

The more we laughed, the more he embellished his tales. As I grew older, I thought of recording my father’s funny and sometimes sad anecdotes, but busy with a growing family, I kept putting it off. When our children were grown and our n ...more

Quotes by Julie Larade (?)

“St-Joseph-Du-Moine and Chéticamp in Cape Breton are awash with natural beauty. Little else is as powerful and moving as its setting sun, the particular scent of the ocean, or the mountains wrapped in multi-coloured fabric. Some who grow up here tend to remain, raising their families, generation after generation. Those who don’t want to leave but must to find work, often yearn to come home, returning for the occasional weekend, a few weeks’ vacation, to summer homes, or to retire in order to satisfy their yearning to stay connected to their roots and to the land. This place lures outsiders too; they come to witness the landscape or even to make their homes in our Acadian niche.
In my novel, Laura’s Story, Laura leaves the village as a young girl, but as she grows older, she longs for her home and feels a distinct pull to reconnect to her native village of Chéticamp.
What is it about home that holds us there or beckons us to return?”

“Power to Laura Boudreau-McPherson-O'Brien: Laura's Story is about a woman finding her place in the world, and her voice, while struggling against poverty, societal limitations, and at times, herself. Anyone who has had to fight for what she believes in or come up against odds be they external or internal, will relate to this book. Women will feel strength and will realize that though this novel is a work of fiction, it is authentic in its aim to give a voice to many women's untold stories. Happy International Women's Day everyone!”
