This is Nanny Joan

"Nan should have had a warning label strapped to her arse. Perhaps this book should come with one too."


Based on the true story of Joan Somerton, born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada.

This hilarious, heartfelt tribute pieces together memories experienced through her granddaughter's eyes.


A candid adventure of a vibrant, resilient yet stubborn woman and her diagnosis of dementia.


Her crazy life antics leave her family questioning how anyone ever survived.


*I will do what I can to continue Nan’s mission of helping those in need. Therefore, I will donate a portion of every book sale to the Alzheimer Society of Canada. This money will help fill the gaps in available services.
