Getting to Know You: Letters to My Family

By Eleanor King Byers

The act of writing a letter to a deceased family member brings them back in interesting ways. And when the recipient of that letter is someone you never knew...that is when the true marvel begins.

Getting to Know You is a collection of letters written by Eleanor King Byers to her deceased family members. In long and thought-provoking missives, she unspools the lives of her cherished forebears before our eyes. This gripping, heartfelt memoir is filled with rich and emotional details about what life was like in Calgary, starting in the early 1900s and moving into more modern times. Historical and personal details blend to turn this memoir into a love letter to Calgary itself, a city that housed the author's most-loved souls and most-loved memories.
