Hello readers.
Welcome to the ninth edition of Our Side of the Mountain. This is a collection of stories, poems and ideas written down by adult students of the Adult Learning Association of Cape Breton County.

Some of these published writings are inspiring, others are informative and some are darn funny.

We hope you will enjoy reading, and give a thought to the hard work, life experience and pride that went into the crafting of these pieces. Some people find writing difficult, but I think all of these writers will agree that it is very worthwhile. Congratulations to all the writers, and enjoy the published version of your writings!
