A refreshing memoir that challenges readers to make the most of
life's opportunities. After moving to Canada from Jamaica in 1976,
a colleague at Scotiabank told Mary Anne Chambers not to be
surprised if she didn't get very far. The overlapping
characteristics of her identity -- Caribbean immigrant, Black
businesswoman, Catholic, wife, and mother--were expected to hinder
her both personally and professionally. Yet, against all odds, she
went on to attain senior roles in both business and politics. In
her inspiring memoir, Chambers shares lessons from the moments that
challenged and defined her. From the Heart encourages us to be our
authentic selves, to embrace curiosity, to find value in our life
experiences and those we meet along the way.

Pirate Queen begin. We set sail on her galley to Spain where war
