Buoyant Passages: The Story of My Family, My Life as an Identical Twin, and My Escapes into the Canadian Wilderness - Hardcover

by Daniel J. DeMers (Author)

What started as a short account of author Daniel J. Demers' ancestors, including their arrival in Canada and the many challenges they faced while striving to establish a life here, soon morphed into a memoir of the author's own life as well. While the book still begins by recounting his family's history before and after their arrival in Canada, the bulk of it focuses on Daniel's own life experiences, particularly his unique role as an identical twin and the many adventures he's had while exploring Canada's natural wonders. As a result, this memoir winds up being a celebration not only of his family's history but also of the limitless options for escape, adventure, and discovery that Canada has to offer.
