The Flower of the Flock

Ralph-Belanger, Lilian. The Flower of the Flock. Vancouver: Vancouver Desktop, 2013. In her memoir, Lily narrates the story of a large and close family, spanning the 1940s to the present. Her narrative depicts lives inexorably intertwined through humour, pathos, heartbreak and magical moments; a gripping journey of powerful ties, untainted by time. Highlighted throughout are the tumultuous relationship with her father, and a deep bond with a special sister. Remembered are gained insights, shared intimacies and strengths in the face of life's differing and complex challenges. A beloved river prominently features as a running theme throughout the narrative, and mystery surrounds the death of an infant. Signed by the author with inscription.
