Author Talk - Lee Hamelin

Like thousands of other Canadian Aboriginal children from the 1950s to the 1980s, Lee Hamelin was forcibly removed from his home during what became known as the Sixties Scoop. Rather than succumb to trauma and despair, however, Lee thrived in his new home, aided in no small part by his loving foster parents. Lee eventually followed in his foster father’s footsteps,becoming a mechanic and operating his own automotive repair business. While he and his wife, Paulette, have suffered their own personal traumas, including the loss of two children, they have managed to maintain a positive outlook on life, aided in no small part by their strong Christian faith. Lee and Paulette live in Stettler, Alberta. In his spare time, he enjoys golfing, biking, reading, and church activities. This is his first book.
