Book
“Throughout my public life, I have always been seen as smiling, vibrant, friendly. For many people, I was joie de vivre personified – a kind of ideal of happiness, through my involvement in the great outdoors and healthy lifestyle habits. And yet, I was concealing a deep wound.”
-Sylvie Bernier
