Julie’s father, George Sanderson, wrote over 1000 radio plays and television scripts, received several awards, and was the first television drama editor
for the CBC. In this book, Julie explores how finding her late father’s notebooks, written in 1963 during his world tour to produce a CBC documentary on world hunger, changed and enlarged her understanding of her father and her family history.
