“Lanark County Kid: My Travels Up and Down the Third Line”
In this collection of stories, the author transports us back in time to the 1960s and 1970s, growing up in rural Eastern Ontario. She invites us to the family farm in Bathurst Township and to share in her adventures in the nearby communities of Perth, Balderson, Lanark, Carleton Place and Almonte, to name a few. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll reminisce. You’ll remember the good old days through the eyes of a rural kid, as you travel the backroads through Lanark County.
