    About this ebook

    This is a story about a small-town girl who, tired of her own town and in the midst of soul-searching, decided to take a chance, fly across the country on her own, and experience Canada Day in Ottawa, Ontario.

    This short story can also be found in my recent poetry book, "Wildflowers Scattered, Estranged: Memoirs of a Small Town Girl."

    Lavinia Thompson

    ​I am a 32-year old author who wants to share the worlds inside my head with everyone. The theme woven through my books is survival. We survive adversity, trauma, hardship and obstacles every day. I survived a decade of child abuse and domestic violence. I want fellow survivors to know they aren't alone. You matter. It is okay to hit rock bottom, to fall, but we don't need to unpack and live there. Writing is what helped me survive, and continues to do so. It has been my life-saving foundation while struggling with mental illness and PTSD. Now, I want the worlds inside my head to reach you.Visit my website and blog for the latest updates!

      Your Letters

      My love of London/Britain began about 86 years ago when my older sisters would read to me, and one of A.A. Milne’s books was a favorite – about Christopher Robin “going to the Palace”. Then, newspaper and radio accounts of the new King George VI and

      In Ontario’s early days, a river driver had to be quick-witted and agile, as even a moment’s inattention could cost him his life. He drove logs down rivers such as the Bonnechere, Madawaska and Mississippi – all tributaries of the Ottawa River. The l

      Memories Of Ilford, Stratford And Much More

      Mar 15, 2022

      STAR LETTER I WAS fascinated by Geoff Courtney’s review in issue 287 of the book Thompson’s B1s, especially his memories of trainspotting at Ilford and its environs in the 1950s. At the age of 16 in 1960 I became a junior clerk in the stationmaster’s
