Hi! Lisa. Just read your email asking for Eswnys email address it is
I met with Eswyn a year or two ago and she read my story
about my experiences as a warbride as she was just starting to write her
book. My daughter lives only 5 minutes away from Eswyn on Vancouver Island
and I live in Richmond B.C. Eswyn is a lovely lady and will give you any
help possible, I know.
Cheers,
Gwen Zradicka
