PRAISE FOR THE BROW OF DAWN

Non-fiction by Catherine Edward

*** Winner of the PEI Book Award ***

"... one of the finest books published on this Island in the past 20 years."

-- Elizabeth Cran, The Guardian

"The Brow of Dawn. I love the title. It says a lot about what this book is about, what Catherine Edward is all about, and perhaps what all of us should be more about."

-- Jock Murray, OC, MD, FRCPC, MACP
Director, MS Clinic, Dalhousie University

"This book will bring great comfort to those with similar incapacities -- not to mention the rest of us who can admire it as a grand story by an exceptional woman."

-- Frank Ledwell, Professor Emeritus, University of Prince Edward Island,
and author of Island Sketchbook

"Catherine Edwardís insights are comedic, as in Dante's Commedia, the consequence of innate character as well of all the aspects of hard struggle that sheís had to manage. The sublimation of those very particular experiences of pain, debility, frustration, and so on, is wonderfully contained within her narration, and redeemed by being circumscribed by a larger world of family."

-- David Aurandt, MA, MFA, Executive Director, Robert McLaughlin Gallery

"This is a profoundly revolutionary book. More than one hip urban soul will be uncomfortable with what they find here, because they have built their world view on the premise that what is built here does not exist."

-- Tom Gallant, Playwright, composer

"I know very little about MS. Thanks to your brilliantly written work, now I know considerably more. I sincerely hope it will find its way to a publisher, so others, those with MS and those without, will benefit from your experience and your remarkable spirit."

-- Loran Fevans, Media consultant and host of "The Music Box"
