Posted by Stories of Canadian Navy Wives
Since men began sailing around the world, their wives stayed behind and looked after things at home – a practice that continues to this day. They must raise children, repair homes and autos, deal with every crisis and keep their family together all on their own. Hundreds of Navy wives from across Canada were interviewed and Dianne Taylor has woven their stories in an enthralling book.
Author Biography
Dianne J. Taylor (1948-1995) was a Navy wife for 14 years. She wrote a humor column for the CFB Esquimalt newspaper and a number of her articles were reprinted in other Canadian Forces base newspapers. This book was originally written to celebrate the Canadian Navy’s 75th Anniversary.
During a thirteen month period, Dianne collected hundreds of stories from women of all ages whose husbands were in the Canadian Navy. She recorded more than 300,000 words from women all across the country who spoke with her candidly. The result is a wonderful collection of stories woven into a compelling book.
