Before My Time

PRAISE FOR BEFORE MY TIME:

   • "McKay breathes new life into the ghosts of her deceased relatives, presenting them in vignettes as characters that readers come to care about. Conflicts abound throughout the memoir, captivating readers' interest and heightening the tension. . . . McKay should be commended for her honesty and thoroughness in tackling this difficult subject. Her memoir is a thought-provoking eye-opener that is hard to put down." --Winnipeg Free Press
   • "Ami McKay, how do you do it? . . . [Before My Time] is more than a memoir--it manages to unfold and examine all of our pasts. How do we define ourselves? What is destiny? Is fate as simple as it sounds, or can it be rewritten? . . . It was suspenseful and heartfelt and scary and wonderful." --Jann Arden
