About Author

Clarence A. Boon

(Portrait from his 1985 book, ''It's Never too Late'') Clarence A. [Alton] Boon was born at Davidson, Saskatchewan. He lived through the thirties, knowing what a time it was to get an education. All members of the family had to work at an early age to keep food on the table. He started farming on his own in 1937. The worst year of the thirties. He had to move to southeastern Saskatchewan that year in order to feed his stock. Eleven years later he moved to Virden, Manitoba, where he still farms a two-section mixed farm, with the help of his family. As soon as his oldest son gets married, and takes over the farm, he and his wife are going to retire to a house beside the Assiniboine River, where he hopes to have more time to write.--(1975 'about author,' in ''I was a Step-child,'' by Clarence A. Boon)

Description

SPOILER ALERT for the following, ''Author FOREWORD'': This is the story of a young farm boy who lived in south Central Saskatchewan, had his life completely changed as so many of them did by the First World War. After losing his childhood sweetheart, his interest in woman was never the same, although he had lots of opportunities to marry, fate always seemed to take a hand to prevent it. He was a farmer at heart and the dirty thirties forced him to move north, as it did thousands of other farmers in order to stay on land. Once again he left his farm and joined up to the Second World War to lend a helping hand to save his country. Again he could have had a wife, but chose to wait until the War was over. The loneliness drove him to the girl he loved. He spent the rest of his years enjoying married life to the fullest in Northern Saskatchewan.
