The Phalarope's Journey
A Spiritual Memoir by Lloyd Guerin Jr
When Lloyd Guerin Jr.’s beloved wife and soulmate, Betty, passed away after forty-two years of marriage, grief left him searching: How could love endure beyond death? The Phalarope’s Journey is a tender, courageous memoir of love, loss, and spiritual transformation. Woven from journal entries, letters, memories, dreams, and Christian mysticism, this is a deeply personal testament to a sacred partnership forged through faith, passion, suffering, and joy. With poetic grace and spiritual insight, Lloyd invites readers to walk alongside him through the mystery of grief and the unexpected moments of grace that follow. From the shared joys of family life to the heartbreak of saying goodbye, from the stillness of spiritual retreat to the revelations of butterflies on the Camino de Santiago, The Phalarope’s Journey is both a love story and a soul’s pilgrimage. At its heart is a call to community and an affirmation that only within the cauldron of belonging can suffering be transformed into new life. Named for the author’s mythical sailboat, The Phalarope’s Journey becomes both vessel and metaphor, a means of navigating the vast inner seas of memory and meaning. As each chapter unfolds, it charts new waters: some familiar, others unknown, all part of the unfolding mystery of a life shared and a soul reshaped. In tracing one man’s path through grief and grace, this memoir holds a mirror to the reader’s own longings—for connection, for healing, and for a love that transcends even death.

Bright Strands
A Discovery of Meaning and Purpose by Helen May
The question of whether justice is served by punishing victims of violence is at the heart of this story. Although set in 500BCE the question remains relevant today. We meet a teenaged girl training to be a wife for some man who would purchase her. She becomes the translator for the ruler of this authoritarian country and merchants seeking to make trade deals. She is raped and punished for losing her virginity and imprisoned to await beheading. She escapes from prison, flees into the foothills where she hides until discovered by a swordsman sent to behead her. She stabs him and flees, once again by crossing over a mountain range to a neighbouring country. Here she finds safe haven and meets others who have fled from brutality. Listening to their personal accounts has her asking this question: How can victims of violence overcome their wounding? Encouraged by the responses to her question, she takes us through her growing sense of identity that deepens her understanding of meaning. The process of her coming-of-age develops into a resilient determination to find both healing and purpose through active collaboration. She sets out to ensure that justice for people from all walks of life would prevail.
