Mountie wives -- Canadian heros A Customer This book is the story of one mountie wife and all mountie wives. The long hours alone while their husbands face danger and possible death; the less than generous pay and allowances; the need to meet RCMP standards and requirements without any RCMP understanding or support -- all mountie wives will be able to relate to Nora Kelly's frustration with the force. They will also likely be able to relate to her eventual appreciation for the history of this great Canadian peacekeeping institution and her admiration of the many accomplishments of her mountie, his partners and the force. Very reada
One woman's story, Nora Kelly's book details the experiences of many RCMP wives. Nora Hickson Kelly married a man, not the Force or she thought! At times the RCMP became a demanding third partner in the Kelly marriage. 6" x 9"; 45 B/W photographs; perfect bound. A determined and talented writer, Nora became a freelance journalist. Her inside knowledge of the RCMP made her the ideal author and co-author of several books on the Force. Her keen observations and astonishing memory make her writing true and vital
