4.9/5 (9382 ratings)

Description:With this boo, award-winning journalist and author Marty Gervais dips into the diaries, private letters and documents left behind by the nuns who founded Windsor, Ontario's Hôtel-Dieu Grace Hospital. He emerges with stories that will surprise you. Gervais recalls the tough 19th century days when the hospital nuns went begging in the streets of Windsor to survive, the visits by whiskey merchant Hiram Walker and the anti-French bishop of London, Ontario who threatened to send the nuns back to Montreal. He delves into tales of the diseases that gripped the community, like typhoid, smallpox, polio and the Spanish Flue that took more lives than the First World War. He chronicles tales of devastation, likely deadly gas explosions and the 1946 tornado that ripped through the city. There are amusing takes, too, like sisters walking up at dawn - not for prayer - but to watch the televised royal wedding of Britain's Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.This book contextualizes and captures a remarkable 125-year journey by the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph in Windsor, Ontario. In reading this book, you will get behind-the-scenes look at the women who established the hospital and the challenges they overcame at that time and throughout the hospital’s 125 years of service to this community. If you are interested in Windsor, history, health care, or a story of compassion, commitment, and courage, this is the book for you. - Ken Deane, President and CEO, of Hôtel-Dieu Grace Hospital.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
