If I Die Before I Wake

The Flu Epidemic Diary of Fiona Macgregor

Toronto, Ontario, 1918



Each of the diaries in the Dear Canada series are well written by a well known Canadian author. Set in an historical time frame, each historical fiction shares the life and times of the character and includes key historical figures.



Fiona comes from a large and loving family where she, her older sisters and her mother are all twins. But soon her loving family is torn apart as the Spanish flu is brought to Canada by soldiers returning from fighting overseas in World War I. Fiona turns to her diary, pouring out her fears as her sisters fall ill with the deadly disease. Will Fee lose those dear to her?
