OverviewPat spent a lifetime catching up to who she wanted to be. Growing up in a Métis family, it would take her decades to shed the prejudice and shame of who she was, to find her indigeneity. After escaping an alcoholic relationship, she achieved corporate success in a man's world, switched gears to become an author of children's books, survived breast cancer, and accepted her husband's wish to participate in MAID. These challenges are all part of Pat's inspiring story. Swiftly Flowing Waters is a raw reflection of the many experiences women quietly go through in life. It's a story about finding courage, overcoming obstacles, and the discovery of joy and fulfilment along the way.
