Marcia Pierce Harding grew up in a fishing village and always loved the sea. As an adult, she visited the sandy shores of Sable Island, and imagining what life would have been like on the isolated island inspired her to write Secrets of Sable Island. A retired grade three teacher of thirty-three years, Marcia enjoys biking, hiking, swimming, sailing, singing, dancing, skating, and strolling along Summerville Beach with her husband and adult children, Cameron and Candace, and three loyal canine companions. Best of all, she loves sitting around a campfire with family and friends on a starry night. Secrets of Sable Island is her first book.
