Images and Reflections

By Hugh Munro Dale (Edited by Christine Cowley)

Images and Reflections

Images and Reflections is a beautifully written memoir by the author that illustrates how my workshops and workbook, The Gift: Sharing Your Life Lessons with the People You Love Most, guides you in fashioning your stories, thoughts, and images into a well-crafted book to share with family and friends.

Images and Reflections traces recollections and insights of Hugh Munro Dale in his own words, from his early life through serving in WWII, then marriage and a career as a respected Biology professor and amateur watercolour artist.

The book was published by my memoir imprint, LifeGems Personal Histories, in 2012. With my professional coaching and editing the final project fulfilled Hugh’s longing to share wit and wisdom gleaned over nine decades and epitomizes how a well-lived life may be preserved for future generations.

First Series: WHAT THE DAY DOES NOT KNOW, prequel to ALL THE DAY ALLOWS.

Twenty-year-old Marjory McAllister is running out of time. If she doesn’t act soon, her overbearing aunt will push her into a loveless marriage and small-town life. So, when a handsome stranger calls out for missionaries to northern Africa, the summons seems like an answer to prayer. But Marjory’s storybook notions about missionary service are about to meet with a fierce awakening.

Inspired by true accounts of Canadian missionaries in Nigeria and Ethiopia in the 1930s, ALL THE DAY ALLOWS explores a little-known nugget of Canadian history. In its prequel, WHAT THE DAY DOES NOT KNOW, Marjory must face harsh truths about her own motives.
