Description
Remembrances of a French Canadian family in New Hampshire, or the biography of a Canadian immigrant mother as written by her American daughter. Family life, work, and prayer in rural New England. Presented as if in flashback, with the story beginning as the daughter attempts to communicate with her aged and ill mother in a nursing home. Constructed in short vignettes pertinent to the mother's life as mother, each section set out with a descriptive header. Includes some poems from the author. From the book jacket: " 'Chére Ma-Ma' (Dear Mom) is a true story which tells of the determination and perseverance of a French Canadian woman, Mathilda (Bourassa) Charest, who raised a family of twelve children, and how she survived the everyday circumstances of truth in poverty, especially so, during the country's Depression; and her love of God through the Catholic faith."
