Читать книгу Mary Janeway - Mary Pettit - Страница 9
ОглавлениеMary Janeway is a real person. Over time she told her stories to me. Innerkip is a town in rural Ontario, in Oxford County. The Jacques family did live outside of Innerkip.
Not all the characters, however, are real; I chose names for them at random while wandering through the Innerkip Cemetery one rainy afternoon. They are fictional and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. The book, The Early Days of Innerkip District by Zella Hotson, provided much of the historical context.
I have taken some literary liberties and indulged in some embellishments while conscious of preserving the integrity of my story. My intention was always to show compassion for the characters and record the events as accurately as my research and memory would permit.
