A Terrific Read

Munroe Scott is the embodiment of the best of Canadian writing talent of all time. From modest roots as a "PK" (preacher's kid) in the Ottawa Valley, he has travelled the world as a biographer, documentary film maker, playwright and as an astute observer of the best and worst of human behavior. This book will transport you to the times and places that have made Munroe's journey a very special one. The story is told with modesty and humor. This is one of those books I wanted to read as slowly as possible and savor every word.
