Georges and Pauline Vanier
Georges and Pauline Vanier follows their lives and travels across the world - from Canadian military life to the League of Nations, from the inner circles of British government to their harrowing escape from Nazi-occupied France - detailing their disappointments and triumphs during social and political turbulence. With insight and sympathy, Mary Frances Coady tells their dramatic personal story. Revealing their remarkably vibrant personalities, she details the couple's support of the French resistance as well as Georges Vanier's pleas for the Canadian government to accept refugees fleeing Hitler's horrors and his effort to broaden immigration policy. She also recounts the importance of their religious convictions, their controversial standing among Quebecers, and their early advocacy of official bilingualism. An invigorating and well-told tale of their lasting legacies, Georges and Pauline Vanier is the definitive account of the enduring contributions the Vaniers made to the world and to their country.

Pauline Vanier, 92 governor-general's wife
Born Pauline Archer in Montreal, she married Vanier, a military officer-turned-diplomat who was governor-general from 1959 to 1967. He died in office in Canada's centennial year. Following her husband's death, Mme. Vanier joined [Jean] at L'Arche, a centre that opened its doors to handicapped people and which he founded in 1967 at Trosly-Breuil, near Paris. The movement has since expanded to 80 communities world-wide, 24 of them in Canada. In an interview with Star correspondent Mary Frances Coady in 1988, Mme. Vanier said she recalled crying in the chapel soon after her arrival at L'Arche. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned and saw a young man standing behind her. Without speaking, she said, he took her by the arm and walked her home. His sensitivity touched her deeply, and she realized then that he was retarded. From then on, her fear of the L'Arche residents began to disappear.
