Description

As a single mother raising five children in the sixties, Betty Lunam is no stranger to struggle. Born in rural Qu?bec in the midst of the Depression, Betty's first marriage, to a member of the Canadian Air Force, would take her all over the country, following her husband's postings. But as his behaviour takes increasingly erratic and violent turns, Betty is forced to flee with her children back to Qu?bec, to be near her family, where she starts a new chapter, buying her own house at the height of the FLQ crisis, pursuing a career in nursing, and learning to take on a man's role as well as a woman's in the home during a time when single motherhood still had a pretty bad rap.

Betty's extraordinary memoir take us from different towns and villages in the Province of Qu?bec to Vancouver Island and back. This is the story of how, against all odds, a young divorc?e was able to start over, time and time again-first, to raise her five children while working as a graduate nurse; later, with an empty nest, to marry the love of her life, bringing her back to the Comox Valley where her family first started and settling into a new and peaceful life as a passionate environmentalist, artist, and naturalist.

Initially written for her children, Becoming Me is sure to interest readers beyond the dear friends and family who populate her memories. Candidly narrated-oftentimes with a sense of humour-the challenges Betty has faced over the course of her life will resonate with anyone who has had to start over.
