About the Author
Gerald A. Archambeau was born in British
Colonial Jamaica in 1933. Sent to Canada in 1947, he
became a Canadian citizen in 1956. This is the first book,
describing his failures and triumphs as a young immigrant
adapting to a new country. He has a deep appreciation for
Canada, and the opportunities it offers those willing to
move forward.
''The Human Rights Act came out after
Gerry did the pioneering work. Where he originally cut a
path it is a four-lane highway now.''
