Best selling author Lynne Golding talks about her Beneath the Alders series, the city of Brampton, Ontario and the people and places behind her books.

Set between 1907 and 1932, Beneath The Alders is the story of a village that became a town; a town that became a city. In some ways it is a story unique to Brampton. In other ways it is a story of most of Canada's thriving cities. It is story of immigrants who sought to build a community for their children and grandchildren. In some ways it is a story unique to this family. In other ways it is the story of all Canadians.

With apparent simplicity, Lynne Golding provides a depth of sensitivity and understanding of human nature that transforms her words to an art form.
