Anchor of my heart : memories of a Cape Breton childhood / Derrick Nearing. by Nearing, Derrick. FriesenPress, 2017. Call #: 971.695 N354a Subjects Nearing, Derrick.   New Waterford (N.S.) -- Biography   New Waterford (N.S.) -- Anecdotes.   New Waterford (N.S.) -- History.   Cape Breton Island (N.S.) -- Biography.   Cape Breton Island (N.S.) -- Anecdotes.   Cape Breton Island (N.S.) -- History. ISBN:  9781525511981 (pbk.) Description:  170 p. ; 23 cm. 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. Genre:  Memoirs.
