We Stand on Guard

On October 22, 2014, a nation stood still. This was the day there was a shooting at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Artist Katerina Mertikas was moved to produce the painting Honouring My Father, which became an instant touchstone to that tragic day. Menna Glyn Andrews was so inspired by this image that she took up her pen and to follow Katerina's example. Her intention is that readers will be moved to share how they deal with grief. They will be able to add their own memories of that day to the narrative and work on explaining their feelings. Menna's hope is that the messages in this book will help others to act on their inspirations and move forward from tragedy.
