By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 My roots are in Brittany, the tip of France. I grew up hearing my ancestors speak Breton, a Celtic language that is difficult to understand today. I always sensed that I was a daughter of a rugged, cragged land and the mysterious ocean.

#2 My mother, Anne Le Théo, was the only daughter in her family. She was bright and successful in her studies, and she grew up into a beautiful and gifted girl. She was preparing for the equivalent of the Grade 12 examinations when something happened that is difficult to understand outside of the context of French history.

#3 The Catholic Church was persecuted by the French government in the early twentieth century, and as a result, many religious congregations were expelled. The Church lost much of her holdings, but in some regions a bitter struggle between the Catholic and government schools began.

#4 The Catholic Church in France passed an ordinance that forced all Christian parents to send their children to Catholic-sponsored schools. If they did not, they would be excommunicated. My grandparents were forced to send their daughter to a Catholic school, but they were adamantly opposed to this move.
