The Hat Box
by
Cheryl C. Bertrand
In the wake of her father’s death, Katherine decides to volunteer at a nursing home. There she meets Hanna, a charming elderly woman with painful secrets, stored in an old hat box. Little by little, as their friendship progresses, Hanna’s story unfolds, reaching back to WWII Germany and a family torn apart in the onset of the Holocaust. Is there anything Katherine can do, in the present, to mend the fractures in Hanna’s past? The Hat Box is a heartwarming story of friendship, loss, and survival.
Cheryl C. Bertrand worked in several nursing homes in nursing for over thirty years, experiencing first-hand the way residents and their care givers come to know each other’s life stories. Since retiring, she’s continued to work in her local nursing home as a volunteer. She lives with her husband in Clinton, Ontario. The Hat Box is her first novel.
