The Journey of a West Coast Doctor's Daughter
by
Lois McLean Hooks
The Journey of a West Coast Doctor's Daughter relates the life and experiences of growing up in an isolated village on the west coast of Vancouver Island. It includes stories of boat travel and incidences on the wild Pacific ocean, having supplies shipped in by freighters, accompanying a medical missionary doctor on trips to First Nation's villages, and miracles that happen in life, along with personal family stories, some humourous and some tragic. These are stories of everyday life in a most beautiful spot of the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island.
The author was born in Tofino, B.C. and was raised on the West coast of Vancouver Island. She studied Education at the University of Victoria and taught elementary school for three years. She married a man from Victoria and had three children born in the Jubilee Hospital. Other than 13 years in Alberta she has lived all her life in B.C. and now resides in Langley but spends much of her time on their holiday property in the Cariboo. Her children and three wonderful grandchildren all live in B.C.
