What People Are Saying
“An Old Dead Tree In A Gravel Pit is an absolutely outstanding read. I feel very honoured and privileged to have been given an in-depth literary view of the life of Doris Ray. Such a rich life filled with the living of hardships and joys, laughter and tears.
Doris Ray’s new book is very poignant with a distinct flavor of family, love, joy, sorrow, and so much more. It is a book of down home country living; of strength and of change. Bravo, Doris Ray. I am grateful to have been afforded the honour of reading such a beautifully written book filled and overflowing with love and a life well lived.”
Deborah L. Kelly, author of Comes The Storm and Upon the Page

“I love how you describe the impact of seasons here in the north. To live in the north is to embrace those modicums of change. And maybe we are the only ones who know what the birds, the trees and the running sap look like and smell like…to live this close to nature is to understand where we are.
You weave a wonderful personal history of a life lived large. I enjoyed reading it.”
