Description
Like many Nova Scotians born during the War years, Russell Elliott’s coming of age reflects a great shift in the Canadian context?from a rural, agricultural-based society toward a modern, urban society. In this memoir, Elliott revisits his youth in New Ross, Nova Scotia, exploring the physical and social environment that was his introduction to the world.

A founding member of the Anglican Fellowship for Social Action (a.k.a 'the briefcase boys'), Elliott was an avid agent for social change and was later made an honourary canon for his years of dedication to both faith and community.
