She may not be a Margaret Atwood but for anyone who has read her book will tell you, this is without a doubt her greatest accomplishments..
“If you loved her paintings...You will more than love her life story.”
Publishing ones memoirs in your 82 year is an accomplishment in its self. But when you read what one life can endure be it heart braking tragedies and betrayal that will make the most hardened soul weep or experiencing her greatest joys of finding that son lost for 30 years…you will indeed cry with joy.
If ever a roller coaster ride will have you in stitches like funny stories of owning a motel for 30 years, or unable to put the book down as to what can possibly happen next.
It is without a doubt the good with the bad ... the tragic or reality of this life is… There is survival and determination behind that smile of the person you thought you knew.
“Eleanor Pauling Who Am I?” A true story of resilience, survival and the greatest of accomplishments in spite of so many tragedies.
A great Christmas gift that will give much.

I am truly honored by all the response I have had from people who have read my book..So many phone calls, e-mails. Everyone said they could not put it down until finished. .
Here are a couple of e-mails ..I did exclude their names for privacy.


Hi Eleanor,                                                                                                                                                 
I am not really much of a reader, but started reading your book at 1:30
today and have just now put it down after reading the last page.  WOW!
What a great read through the ups and downs of the memories of your
life.  Meeting you through the Probus Writing Group I had no idea of the
challenges you have had to face and overcome.  If not for your bedrock
of positivity you could have ended up bitter and hateful.  Instead,
these stressors have compressed the qualities of who you are and
transformed you into a shiny diamond rather than a lump of black coal.
Your book will be such an inspiration for anyone going through hard
times to give them hope that even dealing with the most unfair
situations and unloving characters they can still triumph over evil
intent to bring good out of it.  As a Christian, I believe God sends
every soul to earth with gifts and abilities which are meant to bring
joy and pleasure for ourselves and also the world at large.  I am
thankful you have developed your art and writing during these later
years so you can share your gifts with others to give us the joy of
beauty in your paintings and some words of wisdom in your writing.
Using your special gifts is a form of worship to your Creator and I for
one am happy that you have put in the effort to get this book published.
  I trust you will continue to write and paint and I look forward to
getting to know you better through your future endeavors.

Hi Eleanor,
I received your book and thank you so very much.   
Would you believe that I have already finished your book!  Once I start reading something that captivates me, I find it so hard to put the book down.  I have to admire you for such honesty throughout the book (and also your great memory in reliving so much).   Your survival skills pushed you to the limits in making sure that you were going to provide a life for yourself and your children.  You never, ever gave up and I thought to myself that so many other woman would not have been able to push themselves the way you did and would have given up when faced with such adversity.  Having the love and help from other family members though certainly did help.  I would have to agree with that gentleman who saw you working hard outside that day at the motel that they threw away the mold when God made you!   I am just so sorry that you had to live over 27 years with that monster you called "Al" but in the end you got your just reward.  He was the "devil" in disguise but you didn't know that at the time and had you known earlier, I know that life would have taken you down a different path and quite possibly not the one that you had planned.   I am a true believer that things happen when they do for a reason.  I have never met Diane but just knowing her from facebook, I do see the same determination and fierceness in her just like her mother.    She is a survivor and I am so sorry she had to endure what she did. 
 
I wish you all the best in whatever you do Eleanor and wherever life takes you.  You are an awesome woman and your family is so lucky to have you in their lives. 

With warmest regards,

My book is published


It is Never Too Late by Judy Suke

Eleanor Pauling is a long-time resident of Owen Sound. As she approached her 80th birthday, she felt it was time to write her memoirs. Throughout the years, people who had stayed at her Diamond Motel, visitors to her Bridges Art Gallery, fellow artists, friends and especially her grandchildren, were always telling her that she should write her stories down. Knowing she might be running out of time, she felt she had better get it done. More importantly, she was worried, “When I depart this life, will my children or my descendants really know me?”
She knew that it might be a daunting task. Glad that her parents had both shared stories about her determined ancestors, she started there. She was surprised at how well the memories came. As she wrote about her personal journey through a life filled with trials, tribulations, sadness, joy, and many successes, she realized that it could be an inspiring story to others, and was even more motivated to finish the project. After finding Judy Suke, a manuscript developer, she was able to complete the book, and feels that it is her greatest accomplishment.
Now at the age of 82, Eleanor wants others to know that it is never too late. As the saying goes. “Where there is a will, there is a way.” She says, “With determination, you will prevail, as shown by the seven generations in the book.”
Ruth Lovell Stanners, former Mayor of Owen Sound says, “Eleanor Pauling – Who am I?...  is a truly remarkable book. It is the story of Eleanor’s journey through an incredible life; a story told with honesty and love, and at times great sadness and at other times pure joy. It is an inspirational story of resilience and survival, but above all, a story of the unconditional love of a mother for her children.”

Just to let everyone know.. I have set a day for my book launch and signing
Hope you can join us for refreshments and an  exciting afternoon.
