An exerpt from the book:
Needing to answer that question would take me to the next stage of my life, and once I had the answer, it would drive me to try to make change. To find a way to fair. It was a matter of right and wrong. It became a matter of leadership – mine – and seeking justice.
I needed to find a way past the closed matriculation door to enter the place where people with burning questions went to find the answers. The need to answer the “Why?” of the mess dinner silence was greater than my love of career – and stronger than my fear of leaving.

PRAISE
In “Breasts Ma’am!”, Linda Long Q.C. vulnerably and bravely bares herself to the reader through a series of moving autobiographical short stories and witty vignettes.
In what turned out to be a captivating all night cover-to-cover read, Linda opens her home and her heart to the reader. Throughout the 100 plus pages of “Breasts Ma’am” Linda shares adverse childhood experiences she endured in her early years, casts humor on the absurdity of the system into which she was born, illustrates the resilience and good humour she cultivated throughout her life and shares with the reader a dogged curiosity she embodies to this day - forever seeking the answer to the question “why?” as she moves through a justice career devoted to fairness and equality.
Linda is a powerful role model for those who seek to challenge the status quo and cultivate safe and healthy spaces to work and play in. “Breasts Ma’am!” is the intimate portrait of a respected leader and mentor in the Alberta Collaborative Family System who has dedicated her life to asking the “why?” and leading by example.
I recommend “Breasts Ma’am!” to all those in need of inspiration overcoming adversity and challenging the status quo in pursuit of a more collaborative, equitable and compassionate system to live and play in. Read this book to learn why it has such an intriguing and aptly named title!
