Before she started working on her book, Lake Traverse Station: A Railroad Wife's Algonquin Park Memoir, Gwen composed a waltz which communicates some of her feelings about her life in Algonquin Park. She included this composition in her book, adding lyrics. View and hear the author playing her own musical composition:

Join Gwen on an historical trip to the northeast side of Algonquin Park. Gwen has always felt that the history of the northeast side of Algonquin Park was largely overlooked. This is her thanks for the wonderful years she spent at Lake Traverse Station. It is her first book. LAKE TRAVERSE STATION is available for $20.00 at the locations listed to the right.
