Olive Mazerolle grew up in a small fishing village called Baie Sainte-Anne on the most easterly point of New Brunswick. Her life journey eventually brought her to work with the RCMP in Fredericton (1981 to 2004) and then transferred to Moncton where she retired (2016). She was the recipient of the 125th Canadian Confederation Medal in 1993 and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002 Retirement allowed her to grow her passion for writing. She uses this new skill to share how one can grow beyond post-traumatic experiences. Her only hope for this, her first book, is that it can help others. Her life continues to be good as she remains healthy and, as they are now both retired, enjoys travelling with her husband Larry.
