Summary:
Offers the readers a window into the life of the author as a young boy growing up in New Waterford,
Cape
Breton
in the 1960's. Focused on simple encounters with family, friends and those who came into his life, the stories show how seemingly unimportant daily interactions shaded and prepared him for future aspects of his life.
Anchor
of
My
Heart
is a nostalgic reminder of the importance of simpler days which are often not fully appreciated at the time. For the author, the metaphor of an
anchor
represents the hope that sprouted from his youth and the moral guidance it has provided him during his adult years, sometimes in places very far from
Cape
Breton
Island. It is a tribute to the earliest
memories
of those who came into the author's life throughout his
childhood
and who helped form his world view. Derrick is a retired Physician Assistant who served 35 years with the Canadian Forces.
