Destiny's Daughter
by Wendy Chesworth


This is a fascinating work of non-fiction that melds both autobiographical and biographical true-life stories. The primary-source social history of southwestern Ontario provides the backdrop to the author's search for her birth families while she coped with childhood trauma and fear. As the action rises, so too does the unfolding in a blow-by-blow account of her younger life and the resultant, very unexpected, joy she is finally able to embrace.

We took up the search for my birth families when, over time, systemic interruptions, governmental budget cuts, and antiquated laws slammed the door once too often. Our search evolved into a truly amazing journey! Among the pages in Part One will be “ah-ha” moments for the reader, as these very ordinary folk recount, in their very personal ways, the colourful goings-on around them, of local and international historical significance. “Creativity is as much a pleasure for me, as it is cathartic. It is enjoyed in pursuits such as gardening, interior design, culinary arts, music, art history, and puzzles. It originates as a result of a curious mind. While tutoring later in life, my creativity was able to erase teen angst and the nagging doubts accompanying it. Nothing has been more rewarding for me than to experience those wonderful ‘ah-ha’ moments of discovery. I know how extraordinary they can be.” The author fervently believes that everyone has a story to tell.
