About the book
As emotionally evocative and stirring as Street of Riches, this latest compilation of semi-autobiographical vignettes continues Christine's stories of her childhood and the lessons that helped shape her.
Those who have read Roy's Street of Riches will be heartened to read this continuation of Roy's journey to authorship, with her literary persona Christine returning once more. In the span of four short stories, Christine relives details and remembered observations of the world as she saw it then, and the realization of what she was seeing as she looked back.
With refreshing candor and wry humour, Roy delivers an exemplary follow-up to her first novel, as young Christine learns what it means to move through the stages of life, and how change is inevitable with each movement.
