P.J. (Paula) Stewart-Hovey authored two books.
Will the Real Nation Builders Please Stand Up (Hovey Services, 2004) tells the stories of five Canadian women who 'did what had to be done' to raise and educate their children. From east coast, central Canada, Prairies, Arctic and the west coast, born pre- WWII, they faced and conquered many of the same challenges in life.
In Anna's Voice (Hovey Services, 2005) takes readers from war-ravaged Russia to the 'Blanket rooms' in West Germany, then to Canada where Anna works as a house-cleaner to support herself, her ailing mother, her daughter and to repay the sponsorship costs of immigrating to Canada. Time and circumstance toughened Anna to the realities of life although she is not an embittered woman. Not once in the telling of her story does she cry for herself. She did, whoever, shed tears when she related the dying of her ten month baby, Willie, who starved to death; when she remembered the suffering of her brothers in a Russian prison; and when she spoke of a present day child living in Russia who is not getting enough food.
