Candid not Candy is a memoir which portrays a man who was brought up in Atlantic Canada during the Second World War; an unforgettable time period of political and social unrest. Disease, hunger and fear plagued women and children on the home-front. Young Peter Hutchinson and his family of Port Wallace in Dartmouth Nova Scotia were no exception. Fatherless, he toiled as the man of his house, providing warmth, food and security for his family. Partially told from the mind of a child, this true life account is spoken with the voice of a man. In his own words, Peter outlines the aftermath of such poverty-stricken beginnings.
