Tricia Cook was born in Hull, Yorkshire, before World War II, studied nursing, married, and immigrated to Canada with her husband and three children.
Writing poetry helped her survive the rigours of life in northern British Columbia, before she moved to Metro Vancouver. There she worked, got further healthcare training, divorced and eventually remarried. Forced to retire because of a disability, she went on to take courses and to volunteer in hospice and arthritis care for thirty years, often acting as a counsellor. When she found out her younger sister had also been abused, she knew she had to tell others to speak up.
After moving to Vancouver Island, she started typing this revealing memoir.
