Marjorie Too Afraid to Cry -
Marjorie was one of the thousands of children sent to a British colony. In 1937, at age 10, Marjorie arrived in Victoria, B.C. Forgetting her past, her family and England was the only survival tool she had to help her face her frightening and uncertain future. This book is Marjorie's account as told by her daughter, Patricia Skidmore.
Patricia and Marjorie, who is an Oliver resident, will be at the Oliver Library on Thursday, April 4 at 11:30 a.m. Please join us for a short presentation and refreshments.
