Welcome to Alexandra Heilbron's  web page! Her latest book, Remembering Lucy Maud Montgomery, was just released, October 2001. 256 pages 7.75" x 9" 26.99  (paper) ISBN # 1-55002-362-4

Remembering Lucy Maud Montgomery is a collection of first hand reminiscences by Lucy Maud’s friends, family, servants and neighbours. As a minister’s wife, mother and world famous author Lucy Maud Montgomery was a very busy woman who learned early on to balance her life and not let her worries darken other people’s lives with her worries.

How were her relations with her husband? Her children? What was her daily routine like? How and when did she write? How much did she participate in the daily tasks around the house? Did she ever cook dinner or clean? Did the community really like her? These are just a few of the questions asked in Remembering Lucy Maud Montgomery that reveal how she appeared to those who knew her.

Included with these frank interviews is a collection of photographs, both old and new – some never before published. Articles written about Lucy Maud Montgomery during her lifetime close the book and offer us further insight into one of Canada’s best known and most loved authors.

If you can't find it at your local bookstore, you can have them order it or go to www.indigo.ca.
