Welcome to the cafe!

Thanks for the welcome Cale. My book was banned in my hometown library - the Woonsocket Harris Public Library in Woonsocket, RI. I left there at 17 and now live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was sad that they banned the book in Woonsocket because the first part of my book IT STOPS WITH ME: MEMOIR OF A CANUCK GIRL is all about Woonsocket and growing up in the French Canadian mill town. It was challenged and the library trustees took it out of circulation for several months, which is a book ban. Bard College President Leon Botstein wrote that my book "does not deserve First Ammendment protection." But the ALA, PEN, USA, PEN American Center and the RI ACLU launched a letter writing campaign in support of IT STOPS WITH ME, and it was returned to circulation. I write about it a on my blog at
Thanks for your comment. Charleen Touchette
