From Crash to Re-Creation
Navigating Life with a Traumatic Brain Injury by Amanda Burt
At sixteen years old, Amanda had a bright life ahead of her. She was an active teenager who loved to play hockey, and she was about to enter her final year of high school. One day, as she and her friends were driving home following an afternoon of shopping, her life changed forever. A truck T-boned her car, and that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. For over a year, Amanda lived in hospitals. She was in a coma for one month, in a wheelchair for six months, and then she spent the remaining six months relearning how to do things she had always taken for granted. She had to learn how to walk, talk, eat, and care for herself all over again. From Crash to Re-Creation is the story of one young woman’s journey from the edges of death to a life transformed. With sheer determination, Amanda methodically worked her way over, under, and through every obstacle that appeared, surprising and inspiring doctors, nurses, friends, and family along the way. While her physical milestones were reached with almost subconscious effort, her psychological and emotional challenges proved more difficult to overcome. Amanda tells her story with unflinching honesty, revealing the devastating effects her traumatic brain injury has had on the trajectory of her life. What she’s learned from the experience is immeasurable, however: Despite the difficulties, fears, and frustrations she faces, she must remember to embrace her new life and shower herself with patience, forgiveness, and most of all, love.

The Book of Gronsky
by Bill Engleson
Gilbert Gronsky is at it again. The neophyte author of The Life of Gronsky has returned to the world of Danny Hawkins, a Vancouver Island-based P.I. whose midcentury sleuthing proves far more palatable than the grind of post-pandemic self-promotion. Unfortunately, Gronsky feels obliged to market his first book — a task that takes him from a Saturday afternoon launch at the local library to a midwinter writers’ festival on Ostrich Island. As the larger world devolves into war and climate disaster, attending such an event feels a bit like putting his head in the sand, but Gronsky isn’t fated to engage in the activist shenanigans of younger authors like the doggedly dedicated poet, Tree Leaf. He’s got a published book to promote and a new book to write — a novel/memoir about a multitude of mysteries in and around Nanaimo, BC in the 50s and early 60s including goings-on connected to that prodigious mystic/charlatan, Brother Xll. Will Gronsky finish his second manuscript, or is he destined to be a one-book wonder? And, worryingly, is that even a thing?

In seasons of pain, loss, and uncertainty, they rose up from their struggles with hearts open and full of love.

Told with honesty and humility, each story invites readers into real lives to ask the hard questions. Though the subjects are heavy, the stories offer hope, as they bear witness to God’s presence and healing, reminding us that restoration is possible even in the darkest of circumstances.

Broken Silence
Finding My Voice in a World That Tried to Keep Me Quiet by Sarah Grigg
After surviving abuse in her childhood home in India, Sarah flees to the promised safety of an arranged marriage in Canada. But when she arrives, she discovers that her new husband is as dangerous as the trauma she left behind. Isolated from her family, culture, and support systems, Sarah has to find within herself the courage to leave—not once, but twice, as she fights her natural inclination to forgive and make things work. By believing in herself and having hope for the future, Sarah makes a beautiful life: one of motherhood, resilience, and joy. Broken Silence is a powerful, honest memoir that gives voice to experiences that are often silenced. It raises awareness about the long-term impacts of abuse, migration, and isolation, while also being a story of triumph, joy, and the power of breaking silence to reclaim one’s future. It shows readers that survival is possible—and that strength can exist even when we feel powerless.

Beneath The Falls
by K.D. St Jean
When the body of a man is found discarded in a manure pit on the outskirts of Wakefield Falls, many are quick to look the other way. But for Detective Sergeant Ethan Black, the discovery of Gerry Brenneman strikes a jagged, personal nerve. Haunted by his brother’s unsolved death and a family history written in tragedy, Ethan refuses to let another "inconvenient" life be erased. As high-priced developers and City Hall power brokers scramble to protect a lucrative "development," Ethan finds an unlikely ally in Valerie Reimer, a reporter with a similar hunger for the truth. Together, they peel back the polished veneer of the city’s elite to find a corruption that runs deeper than the local soil. With the unhoused community braced for a purge and the body count rising, Ethan is no longer just solving a murder. He's fighting a system designed to bury its secrets. In a race against those who view people as disposable, Ethan has one chance to expose the darkness of Wakefield Falls before the truth is buried for good.
