Bøker av Crystal Hay

Human beings are born to trouble as surely "as sparks fly upward." That was certainly true for Crystal (Sloane) Hay. She came of age in the midst of the Great Depression in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She fell in love and married Bill Hay, but he was soon called up to serve in World War Two and came home damaged. Eventually, she was left to raise five children on her own. She was able to survive only through perseverance, hard work and a deep faith. This book tells her story, largely in her own words dictated near the end of her life. Daughter Faith Fisher has compiled and augmented her mother's story in an attempt to understand the troubled times in which she and her siblings grew up. The result is a compelling book that offers insights into another time and the enduring human condition.
