This Friendship Requires Dogs
Stories of Women and Their Dogs and Connections Made by Daenna Van Mulligen
“So much of what has connected me to people is my dog.” Women with difficult dogs are a special breed—and in a world rife with judgment, they have to stick together. In This Friendship Requires Dogs, Daenna Van Mulligen pays tribute to the many women she’s befriended through her dog, Jace, an anxious Xoloitzcuintli who has won many hearts on Instagram. While all the friendships profiled began online, the women in these pages live near and far from Daenna, some walking their dogs with her on a regular basis, others finding kinship over texts and video calls. What draws most of them together is their willingness to offer a home to the troubled dogs many would write off as too challenging, learning life-changing lessons along the way. Others in the book share Daenna’s love of the rare Xoloitzcuintli breed. Read their stories and open your heart to the special sisterhood that arises from canine companionship.

For Maria
by Lenore MacAdam
Alex Halliday, a Crown prosecutor, is having coffee with her father on a beautiful autumn day in Cork Bay, Ontario. When he is gunned down in front of her, the killer says only two words, “For Maria.” Already devastated by her father’s murder, Alex faces another shock – he may not have been the person she thought he was. Reeling from confusion, grief and anger, Alex is forced to question everything. She puts herself, and her friends, in danger as they try to find answers, delving into government corruption, gang wars and a decades-old secret that Cork Bay has never fully buried. For Maria is a sharp, funny, deeply felt debut about the lies small towns tell to survive — and a daughter brave enough to find out the truth about her father.

The Second Garden
by Agnes McCreery
In a world saved by women, the future is finally secure. It is the year 2080, climate collapse has stabilized, pandemics are controlled, and a global matriarchy has reshaped society around one guiding principle: people over profit. But that stability rests on one quiet truth—most males are now born with straynes, a neurological condition that shifts the balance of power. When Gillian uncovers a buried link between straynes and a decision once made to save humanity, she faces an impossible choice: reveal the truth and risk unraveling their fragile utopia, or protect the world her family depends on. Meanwhile, her daughter Fiona is drawn to Elijah, a young man from the last remaining patriarchal society. As her feelings deepen, Fiona begins to question everything she has been taught about social structures, gender roles, and even love. In a world built on balance, what is worth protecting—the truth, or the future it threatens?
