Abducted Alien

About the Book

I was an Abducted Alien...Startling memoir is about a woman accused of being an illegal alien in the United States. Do you really know who you are? Are you really sure you are a citizen of your country? And do we really know where the course of history is taking us? Ask these crucial questions – and more – as one woman faces a legal nightmare trying to prove she is an American citizen in Abducted Alien. Chris’ difficult odyssey all started with a trip to Canada in 2006 to pay her respects to a dying aunt. She has stayed in the United States for more than forty years, thought she was an American citizen – paid her taxes – and made frequent visits to her relatives in Quebec, Canada. But this year it was going to be different. Horribly different. Stopped by agents of Homeland Security for suspicion of being an illegal alien, she went through a bureaucratic and legal nightmare in proving that she is, indeed, an American citizen. With twist and turns worthy of a Hollywood movie, she made startling and unexpected discoveries about herself – as well as on some disturbing aspects of modern American society. Covering diverse topics such as immigration, citizenship, pressing social issues like women’s rights, and homosexuality, and even going into politics including NAFTA and the enigmatic Bilderberg group, Abducted Alien is an eye-opening account about the terrible experiences some innocent people have to go through. Her story makes you thankful it didn’t happen to you. At least, for now… “Chris’ story is important. While her main focus is about her immigration status as a United States citizen, she also reveals the hardships she has faced as a woman trying to find work in the male-oriented construction industry. The story continues with the amazing events in her personal and professional life that have made her who she is today…” – Deon Paul, Editor

About the Author

Chris was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on October 16, 1948. Immigrating to the United States in 1949 with her French Canadian parents at the age of one Chris is a true example of the struggle and the achievement of women workers in the twentieth century labor union movement. After arriving in Chicago with her family, Chris had to overcome the language barrier, and the process of assimilation into the English speaking education system. Because of her life choices and the political and social leanings of her family she found herself continually confronted with issues of social injustice in the United States. She is the oldest of six daughters to Helene and Raymond. Chris graduated from Harrison Technical high school in 1967 and pursued some college classes later in life. She is self taught in all endeavors. (Chris is one of the first females in Chicago, Illinois to break into the male dominated trade of Construction Carpentry.) Chris owned several businesses and became a union carpenter in 1979. She was the first woman hired by the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters (CRCC) as a Trainer/Instructor in 1987. Chris has assisted in developing curriculum booklets that have been printed and used throughout all ten CRCC Apprentice and Training Programs. Her writing skills have been mainly with technical carpentry books. Her first book published in 2007 is called “An Angel for You: My Life in Poems, Verses and Short Stories.” This is her first biographical book which includes what she has found to be the plan for all Americans, a New World Order as defined by the global elitist of the 21st Century.
