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

This is Nanny Joan invites readers into the uproarious and touching world of Joan Somerton, a spirited Newfoundlander. Born and raised in the picturesque landscapes of Newfoundland, Joan's life was anything but ordinary. With a personality as big as the Atlantic Ocean and a heart full of love, she should have come with a warning label.

Through the lens of her granddaughter's reminiscences, this book paints a vivid and heartwarming portrait of a woman who refused to let life's challenges dim her spirit. Joan's resilience and stubbornness were legendary, and her family's tales of her wild escapades will have you laughing, crying, and wondering how on earth she managed to survive it all.

But beneath the laughter and the crazy adventures lies a poignant story of a vibrant woman's journey through dementia. As Joan navigates the labyrinth of memory loss, her family's unwavering love and support shine through, providing moments of tenderness and inspiration.

In a tribute to her beloved Nan, Vanessa pledges to continue Joan's legacy of helping those in need by donating a portion of every book sale to the Alzheimer Society of Canada. This heartfelt gesture aims to bridge the gaps in available services and offers a fitting tribute to a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on her family and all who knew her.

This is Nanny Joan is a heartfelt and hilarious tribute to a woman who reminds us that love, laughter, and resilience can shine through even in the face of adversity
