For Elise : Unveiling the Forgotten Women on the Criddle Homestead (Signed) - Velhuis, Oriole A. Vane

SIGNED BY ORIOLE A VANE VELHUIS on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; fold to bottom corner of front facing page; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Heavy book; Oriole's thoroughly researched story of her great-grandmother's life is a vivid account, not only of Elise Harrer Vane's hidden soul and difficult life, but of the harsh realities of homesteading in Manitoba in the late 1800s. It is a riveting story of cold, hunger, hope, betrayal, and survival as the secret and desires hidden behind closed doors are brought to light.
