About the Book:
It is memoir that is actually two main stories in one. Bill has not only managed to blend both in a delightful and telling way, but also to bridge between the past and present until they finally converge in the last chapter. Bill takes us through his life journey and like a tapestry, time and space are woven together in a blend of nostalgia and reality. Bill’s personal story explores his life growing up and working on farms in rural Manitoba and about he and his community’s more than 15 year struggle against business and bureaucracy at a number of levels. It’s about the influence of his grandfather, the love of his sister, and his dedication to family, friends and community.

About the author
When I got hurt when I was young, I’d lie down and bleed for awhile and when I could, I’d get up and move on. I’ve been that way all my life.
Bill Massey found the people who gave him space to move forward, committing to hard work, upholding his integrity, and above all, never giving up. He managed to survive and use his skills to help others, becoming a teacher, principal, and advocate for disadvantaged children. During all that time, he has lived on farms at Kelwood, Elma, and finally Grosse Isle, where he currently resides with his partner, Dorothy.
One thing I love about my husband is his ability to see an advantage in every setback.
Dorothy
@HogManitoba Totally disgusting ! The actual number of pigs that died was 3000. The mistake in number was made by the media that first reported it.
