LUCIE THERRIEN has enjoyed a lifelong musical career. She grew up in the Province of Québec,establishing a career when she moved to New England, U.S.A., as a young adult. French-Canadianmusic and traditions are her signature, coupled with her own expressive creativity. She has publishedmany CDs, DVDs, a songbook and researches, performed over five continents, and won numerousawards from the NHSCA, a state agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. The book has three distinct parts: Mémoir glimpses, written in English poetry (prose and/orrhyming style), with a French cachet, chronicling the critical events that paved her life: the innerstruggles brought on by her cultural, linguistic and national duality; events following her crossing ofthe border; surviving crises; illness; and challenges, both as a young girl and as a woman. It detailshow she carved a unique niche in an unusual, challenging and competitive career, in French, in anEnglish speaking country – a veritable tour de force. Traveling the world as a single woman entertain-er, she encountered danger and joy, and had to make difficult choices when it came to relationships.Traditions: French-Canadian gives an overview of the history of feasts, recipes, dances, and gamesshe was brought up with. Songs & Poems includes the lyrics and poetry recorded on the CD (included).
