At times humorous, at times touching, "Take My Hands" is the memoir of Ruth Wensley Mogenson, set against the backdrop of the major changes that have taken place in Canadian society during her lifetime, from the era of the Great Depression in Saskatchewan in the 1930s down to the present. From her early days as a shy schoolgirl growing up in a small farming community on the Canadian prairies to her adulthood as an outspoken but caring and compassionate nurse in Quebec and Ontario, Ruth's strong will, her creativity and passion, and her deep faith come through clearly in her vivid and memorable storytelling.
