History is the story an individual or nation tells itself, in an ongoing process of reinvention, and that story is one of imagined truths. Richard Lemm grew up in 1950s Seattle, raised by alcoholic grandparents, with an absent mother and a fabled father who died shortly after he was born. To avoid the draft, he left the land of opportunity and moved to Canada in 1967. Now, more than fifty years later, he uses his poet's sensibility to examine his cultural heritage, including the optimism that characterized the early years of the "counterculture" and the darker days that followed the murders of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Turning his lens inward, he focuses on what he believed to be true about his family and society at the time, how that perception has evolved. A rewarding mixture of personal recollection and social commentary, this is a story about growing up in a family and country you didn't choose and coming of age in the country and with the people you did.

A story of love, grief and resilience that spans three countries and fifty years. Jolie Phuong Hoang grew up as one of ten children, part of a loving, prosperous Vietnamese family. All that changed when the war ended in 1975. Anxious to provide a future for his children, Jolie's father arranged three separate escapes. The first was a failure, but the second was successful--six of his children reached Indonesia and ultimately settled in Canada. In the third, disastrous attempt, he and his youngest daughter drowned. Told from the author's perspective and that of her father's ghost, Three Funerals for My Father is at once an intimate story of one family, a testament to the collective experience of the "boat people" who escaped Vietnam, and a plea on behalf of the millions of refugees currently seeking asylum across the globe.

On the edge of normal, challenges take many forms--the everyday can be an adventure and the ordinary a triumph. A young woman in a group home investigates a mysterious piece of knitting. An obsessed bag boy does grim battle with a squirrel. A woman, an asparagus bag and a garbageman have a tumultuous short-term relationship. In this uplifting collection, award-winning artist, poet and author Jenn Ashton explores the world through the eyes of protagonists whose perspectives are informed by the challenges they face.

Two unlikely friends navigate a world of saints and sinners, and crimes both real and imagined. Spence is lost--the brief optimism of his early retirement and bold move from Vancouver to Montréal has devolved into a lonely round of French classes, winter cycling and watering his absent daughter's houseplants. When Thierry, une petite souris, moves into his apartment uninvited, Spence welcomes the company. Thierry is a petty thief with strong opinions and a foul mouth who draws the former drama teacher into an unexpected theatre of conspiracies. He becomes Spence's little brother, helping him learn French, confront painful memories and reaffirm his Catholic faith. A darkly comic story that is at once poignant et amusant, sacred et sacrebleu.

"More than just history, this book can teach us all something. On Account of Darkness is a powerful read about racism and overcoming prejudice, not just in sports, but in Canada. These untold stories need to be heard." BOB IZUMI, sportsman and host of the Real Fishing Show "These stories show that anything is possible, and good things can happen, no matter who you are." FERGIE JENKINS, member of the MLB Hall of Fame For racialized athletes past and present, achievement can bring celebrity without equality and recognition without opportunity. ". . . it is so refreshing to read something that breaks new ground and discusses the issue from angles we have not seen. It is a deep dive into a vital topic that also contains such depth of feeling, depth of history, and depth of personal recollection to animate why knowing the past is so critical for the present." DAVE ZIRIN, Sports Editor, The Nation "A well-researched and often uncomfortable trip through Canadian sports history. Ian Kennedy's reporting . . . will rekindle discussions about athletes from our country's past who deserve a more prominent place in history and ought to also spark a debate about whether some of Canada's most prominent sporting legends deserve the pedestal they have been put upon." RICK WESTHEAD, TSN Senior Correspondent
