Paths We Choose

George Walters grew up in a world that measured a man by his word and his work. In Paths We Choose, he brings together fifty true stories drawn from a lifetime of living close to the land, close to family, and close to the kind of neighbours you don't find much anymore. From a one-room schoolhouse where one teacher handled eight grades and fifty kids, to a father who walked into a principal's office and set things straight without raising his voice, these stories carry the weight of real experience.
They cover everything - childhood, farming, friendship, loss, humour, and the quiet wisdom that comes from listening to your elders before the world got too loud to hear them. No pretense. No polish. Just life as it was lived in rural Ontario, told by a man who was there for all of it. Paths We Choose is for anyone who remembers that world, or wishes they had known it.
