Looking Back on My Life: Stories to tell my grandchildren

The Beauty of Books: Looking Back on My Life by Lillian MacLeod
Click on image to enlarge it.

NONAGENARIAN LILLIAN MACLEOD looks back on her life to gather up stories for her grandchildren, who have never used a crank telephone or churned butter or come face to face with a wildcat. Matter-of-fact, good-humoured and frequently funny, Lillian’s reminiscences evoke a time and place long past—when a woman’s work was never done and her contributions were rarely valued or recognized.

Robin Brooks at The Beauty of Books created the cover alone for Looking Back on My Life: Stories to tell my grandchildren by Lillian (Winters) MacLeod with Marie Lesoway of Storyphile in Canada. ​

Based on her husband’s interviews, Marie created the narrative for her mother-in-law Lillian's personal memoir. 
  
Lillian MacLeod lives in Ingleside, Ontario. She has a lifetime of experience in creating order and beauty in her family, her flower gardens and her home.
 
Robin created the cover first for the Espresso Book Machine and then two further versions for other printers.
