Patricia Hetherington speaks with Sheila about her life growing up in Smithers and her second book, Under the Covers: A Life of Gumption, Passion, Gifts and Secrets. "This evocative collection of linked stories explores the hope, heartache, and messiness of love, revealing how, in the deepest corners of our beings, we long for healing."

For those of you new to the Bulkley Valley, Patricia's mother, Tona Hetherington (Bulkley Valley Stories), and grandmother Nan Bourgon (Rubber Boots for Dancing) were both wonderful storytellers and played in important role in collecting and preserving local stories.
