SYNOPSIS: Fredelle Bruser Maynard has led an extraordinary life. Raised in a series of small prairie towns, she went on to become a brilliant academic, a popular teacher and an acclaimed writer. However, although she wrote eloquently about family issues, her own personal life was full of pain. In this powerful sequel to Raisins and Almonds, Maynard examines with wit, insight and honesty the crucial events and people that have shaped her life: her strained relationship with her beautiful doomed sister Celia; her devoted and dominating mother and her 25-year marriage to the dazzling, alcoholic artist Max Maynard. Reflecting on her work as a mother, teacher and author, Maynard writes with an eye for the telling details that are part of all our lives. The Tree of Life is about love, letting go, about discovering difficult truths--and, ultimately, about hope. Born and raised in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Fredelle Bruser Maynard studied at the University of Manitoba and the University of Toronto before taking her Ph.D. at Radcliffe. She has taught at Wellesley, Radcliffe and elsewhere, and her articles have been published in Woman's Day, Chatelaine, Parents magazine, the Malahat Review, Maclean's, Atlantic and many other journals. She has also appeared extensively on television and radio, most recently as hot of TV Ontario's "Parents and Children." Her books include Guiding Your Child to a More Creative Life, The Child Care Crisis and a first volume of memoirs, Raisins and Almonds. Ms Maynard now lives in Toronto. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
