Although Corinne Hewitt of Delia, Ab., has only recently published her first book, “Jacob of Abbington Pickets”, she began writing at the age of 12. Hewitt’s historical novel is a story of loss, perseverance and faith amidst the background of 19th-20th century rural Canada and was inspired by Hewitt’s own grandmother and her hometown of Carlyle, Sk.
