ABOUT HELEN NOTZL

Helen Notzl, B.A., M.S.W., is an executive coach and life coach. A long-time supporter of Canadian arts and culture, she was the founder of Toronto's Pauline McGibbon Cultural Centre. She lives in Caledon with her husband Walter Keyser, father of their son Adam. They travel several times a year to their apartment in Prague.

What people are saying about Long Journey Home...

"Helen Notzl writes movingly, with verve, passion, and skill, about the heart in exile, the lifelong search for home. Her book is a searing exploration of what it means to love two countries, two cities, two languages, and two men."

"This is not a memoire for the faint-of-heart. Long Journey Home is both a frank love story and a searing indictment of oppression and bullying in all their forms – political, sexual, social, and relational. It is a celebration of independence of thought and life choices – and a call to risk the heart to live life to its fullest."

"She fearlessly tackles a life long hunger for her family's roots by penetrating deep into the Czech country. Her questions need answers and Helen gets those answers in spite of scary Russian soldiers at every turn. Riding her little scooter into the heart of her homeland and meeting many new loves and friends, Helen kept going. I could not put this book down."
