Born in England, Dorothy Walker was educated as an RN and Midwife. Prior to emigrating to Montreal with her family in 1975, she read extensively about southern Ontario, and became interested in the history of the Niagara peninsula.
She studied biology at Concordia University and worked in clinical research with pharmaceuticals, and medical devices that took her to many parts of the world until she retired in 2015.
A Village in the Shadows is the product of a request for Dorothy to update an out-of-print history booklet on St Davids and vicinity. Powered by the love of research, she studied the history of the village and the lives and times of its people over the last 300 years and developed a book-length manuscript.
Dorothy has lived in St Davids with her husband since 2010....
