Leah

Melissa Hunter was born in 1957 in a family of twelve in a very close net family in Newfoundland. I left home at the age of 17 to make my make in the world in Toronto Canada and after 2 years moved to the Labrador coast and married my husband. We moved to a little town in BC in 1984 due to employment and in 1994 moved to Dawson Creek, BC Canada where we still reside today. Battling cancer in 2011, my life totally changed, when as when as a result of the cancer my back has become disabled and I had to give up a job of 18 years that I absolutely loved. But God does not just close one door but He opens another and I found my passion and love of writing stories and poems increased and the thing I have been doing for years came alive in my heart. Leah is one of many stories I hope to write in the future with Gods help and the support of my family.
