Book Pleasures Karen Atwood Reviews IT STOPS WITH ME: MEMOIR OF A CANUCK GIRL.

There are a number of motivations to write a memoir: proximity to fame, a story that speaks to or is representative of an entire generation, or a life that simply has a fascinating angle. In many ways, Charleen Touchette’s book, It Stops With Me: Memoir Of A Canuck Girl falls into both of the last two catagories.
