"It's cancer I'm afraid," said the physician. To Catch a Moonbeam is an unusual account of one gutsy woman's reaction to that feared diagnosis and who, with her man, decided to confront fate and live to the fullest whatever time remained. There is humour, revelation, despair, anger and, of course, sadness but the essence is hope. Together they faced the unknowable with only the end an inevitability. Good-byes and regrets could wait, only the now was really important. Pauline and Doug set out on a final journey ignoring one to five year predictions of nay sayers, meeting physicians who only ever voiced encouragement and praise. Beating the odds by three years she created her idyll in rural France. Pauline broke new ground, enjoyed new friendships, amazed so many that met her while travelling throughout Canada, France and England. Memories of this unusual gal live now and for always in the hearts and minds of countless folk. To Catch a Moonbeam is her story but it's also everyone's story who is touched by cancer in some way, and who isn't?
