Liz Maxwell Forbes takes the reader on a bittersweet journey through childhood in the privileged environ of Oak Bay under the faulty guidance of eccentric parents. She writes with raw honesty about her troubling behaviour as she struggles to find her way through the stifling aspirations of a society that existed during the 1940’s and 1950’s.  At times a brave uncompromising view of a difficult childhood,

Growing Up Weird is also a story of hope and resilience, humour and love. Part memoir, part social history, it is a compelling work of nonfiction with a strong narrative that reads like a novel. PLEASE NOTE: While admission is Free, space is Limited. Please call 250-246-9471 to reserve a place.
