About the Book

This is the true story of a little girl, Irina, who was orphaned at an early age.  Her mother died when she was eighteen months old and her father died when she was seven.  Then her aunt who she had come to love as her own, died when she was 16.  It is then that her world fell apart.

 

 

 

Text Box: Today she is an experienced health care professional with careers in Intensive Care nursing, nurse practitioner in Northern Manitoba and various positions in the pharmaceutical industry. She currently lives in Ottawa, Ontario.

Text Box: She has a wry sense of humour and enjoys painting and reading during her quieter moments.

Text Box: The author is intense, driven and committed and has always been dedicated to the pursuit of truth and integrity. She brings to the issue of orphans the same intensity and drive for results that she has to every aspect of her life. Elizabeth has spent her life trying to bring effectiveness to all aspects of treating human ailments. Her hope now is to lighten the load of orphans and bring them to a point of healing.

Orphan — through the eyes    of an orphan

“Orphan” is a unique book, as there are virtually no books written by an orphan about the psychological suffering endured by orphans. Many books have been written about abuse, but not about the unseen, unheard inner pain of abandonment. 

 

The book is also unique in that it presents the story from the child’s point of view, rather than as an adult recalling childhood memories. 

Price: $23.95  Can.

About the Book - it is her memoir

 “Born in Winnipeg, Elizabeth went from home to home in her Mennonite Community finding relative degrees of acceptance disregarding her personal heritage and her formative family beliefs. Not a United Nations orphan; not a Displaced Person, nonetheless, Elizabeth was totally ignored by Federal and Provincial law because ‘she was being cared for by her own community.’ The fate of Aboriginal children in Federal ‘care’ is as appalling as Elizabeth’s story in so many ways.  A society is truly judged by how well it treats its children and elders.   We fail.”
