My Mother s Daughter is a memoir by Canadian Olympian Perdita Felicien.(Martin Brown, Doubleday Canada)
Perdita Felicien s mom Catherine was a poor young woman in St. Lucia when she was given a seemingly random, but ultimately life-changing, opportunity: to come to Canada with a wealthy white family and become their nanny. But when she gets to Canada, life is tougher than she expected, as she endures poverty, domestic violence and even homelessness. However, she still encouraged and supported her youngest daughter s athletic dreams. Felicien would go on to be a world-class hurdler and one of Canada s greatest track athletes.
