I am pleased to currently offer two books. The means to purchase are slightly different as I work out the most effective means. However, should you wish to purchase both together, simply send me a note via Contact, and we may be able to make arrangements.
The books are also available for sale at Books on Beechwood, 35 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario.
Both books are also currently available for loan through the Ottawa Library – Orleans Branch.
48 Hours – A Story of Choices
48 Hours – A Story of Choices is about a woman who lives with choices during her relationship with her husband, and ultimately with a choice when there is another case of physical abuse and violence. The book also includes a small collection of poetry written and inspired by victims of abuse and by those who support these individuals in moving forward. The book is intended to raise awareness of this societal issue and to help open conversations as part of removing stigma and developing solutions. There is a trigger warning for those who have lived with abuse or violence.
Stories from the Bench
Stories from the Bench is a collection of inter-related short stories about thirty-two individuals who use the same bench during a twenty-four hour period. The bench is that safe space sought for moments of renewal, of reflection and contemplation, of connecting with our inner self or with others, or of simply being. The bench is part of who we are and well-deserving of our stewardship, just like the land and water we live on and the air we breathe.
