Viga Boland is the author of three memoirs. Her first memoir, a true story of incest, "No Tears for my Father", won her a Gold Medal in the 2014 Readers Favorite Book Awards. At the request of friends and fans, she then wrote the rest of her story of recovery and self-discovery, "Learning to Love Myself". Her latest memoir, "The Ladies of Loretto", is a funny, nostalgic look at what it was like to be a student in a Catholic Girls High School in the early 60's. Viga Boland facilitates memoir writing workshops for the Hamilton, Ontario Public Library and is also the editor/publisher of "Memoirabilia", a how-to magazine for memoir writers which also gives unknown writers a chance for exposure through submissions to the magazine.
