The Story of a Vancouver Family
By Mary Buckerfield White (with Philip Sherwood)

“A veritable kaleidoscope of larger-than-life personalities shines across these pages with joy and humour, with sadness and sorrow, and with everything in between.”

Lifewriters.ca is delighted to announce the publication of Buckerfield, the colourful and entertaining story of the Buckerfield family of Vancouver. Mary Buckerfield White, the only daughter of Ernest and Amy Buckerfield, tells not only her story but that of her husband and parents along with engaging tales of relatives and personages who played a part in their lives. She also chronicles the rise of her father’s business, Buckerfield’s Feeds Seeds and Fertilizers, which became a household name throughout much of British Columbia. Lavishly illustrated throughout, this coffee table book is sure to delight a variety of readers and prove a valuable addition to the social history of Vancouver and British Columbia.

"Without Philip's help, I could never have written and published my memoirs. Not only is the finished product much better than I ever could have imagined, but the whole process was very rewarding. Philip and his team are professional in every sense of the word, and I benefited first hand from his intuitive editing skills - his ability to rearrange a passage with skill and subtlety without sacrificing anything of the narrative. And all done with a lightness and humour that makes working together pure fun.

"He also taught me the satisfaction of discipline and deadlines! Now that the book is completed, there will be a sad silence at 10.00 p.m., when we had most of our working conversations - I'm a night owl and that's my prime time! Thank you, dear Philip!"

- Joyce Bryant, CM, BEM, author of Slender Threads.
