Glimpses: The Island

Glimpses: The Island is a book of fiction by Linda (MacLeod) van Omme. 

Van Omme was born and grew up on the Island, and thus achieved the much-sought-after honour of being “A Real Islander,” with very little effort on her own part.

In spite of living and working, with her husband John and their three daughters, all over the place in Canada, the Island is, and will always be, the home of her heart.

“Nothing in it is the gospel truth,” shares Linda. “In fact, most of it is pure unadulterated baloney. My excuse is a poor, sometimes terrible, memory, and a mild [Well, not that mild!] tendency to exaggerate, which I have tried, not very successfully, to conquer. There is a bit of the truth here and there in it all but, as my Gram would say, ‘It’s all justa’ packa’ lies!’”

This book is a mixture of foolishness and fact stirred together with a pinch of salt, and poured for the reader.
