In a family ruled by secrecy, shame, and silence, I chose not to play my part. Confessions Of An Ottawa Valley Dog Walker is my unflinching memoir a story of survival, resilience, and the radical choice to keep hoping when the world says you shouldn’t.

For 16 years I ran a dog walking business, building trust with clients and gathering stories that were often funny, heartwarming, and full of life. But behind those moments was also deep personal struggle: betrayal, estrangement, and the long fight to have my voice heard.

This book blends both the joy of loyal paws and companionship, and the courage it takes to face trauma and speak truth when silence is expected. It’s for anyone who has ever felt cast out for daring to stand up.
