Our American Hero

Paul and His Bunch of Misfits
The Dangerous Bush Garden by Paul Sookdeo
A little patch of forgotten earth... Set in rural Guyana, The Dangerous Bush Garden is a coming-of-age story told through the eyes of a determined nine-year-old boy growing up close to the land. What begins as a simple plan to clear a small patch of bush soon becomes something far larger. Faced with a tangled wall of thorn, hardened shrubs, and gnarled trees, the boys discover that adventure is rarely as neat as it sounds. Barefoot and undersized, they swing cutlasses nearly as big as themselves, learning quickly that the land does not give way easily. Along the way, curiosity leads them into trenches, deep bush, and unexpected danger. Snakes, alligators, and poisonous insects are part of the landscape, just as much as laughter, friendship, and stolen moments of freedom. Between hard work and close calls, they build rafts, cook in the bush, and chase the kind of adventure only childhood allows. Warm, reflective, and grounded in lived experience, The Dangerous Bush Garden is a story about growing up, facing fear, and discovering what it means to do a man’s work while still being a boy.

Shattered but Unbreakable
Living with a Covert Narcissist by Clara Rose
When Clara fell for Adam, she felt an unwavering kind of love for him, a love built on her belief in the compassionate words that others didn’t hear but that meant everything to her because she heard them, she heard him. She held onto that love through Adam’s drinking and gambling, highlighting his lies, manipulation and abuse. And like those unheard words that built their relationship, others couldn’t fathom the abuse that would ultimately break it. Throughout the turmoil, Clara found some peace in keeping a secret journal. It’s from those pages that Shattered but Unbreakable: Living with a Covert Narcissist emerged. The early warning signs, recurrent abusive techniques, self-doubt, and self-gaslighting—this hybrid memoir uncovers it all. The raw, candid prose shows the complexity of abusive relationships. Because there’s nothing simple about leaving, not with a narcissistic spouse and not with children to protect. And where prose can’t capture the rage, despair, and pain, Clara’s drawings and poems do. They’re vulnerable and intimate, poignant and insightful. Shattered but Unbreakable is more than a trauma memoir; it’s a memoir about perseverance, resilience, and finding self-love and -worth. It’s a call to action for anyone who’s felt unheard, less than, trapped, or alone. Now is the time to rise and rage. Because you’re not alone, Clara is right beside you.

Echoes of Huron's North Shore
The Annotated Columns of James Barnes Dobie 1852-1938 by J.B. Dobie
Echoes of Huron’s North Shore brings together the annotated newspaper columns of JB Dobie, a merchant and keen observer of everyday life in the northern Lake Huron communities during a period of profound change. Originally published in local newspapers in the 1920s, Dobie’s writings look back on the people, work, and rhythms of the North Shore from the late nineteenth century through the early twentieth. Writing with clarity, humour, and an eye for detail, Dobie records the experiences of people settling in a region rich with natural resources and for many, a desire to escape the forces that led to their emigration. His columns capture both the economic development of the region over time and the social fabric of frontier communities, preserving stories and anecdotes that rarely appear in official records. Carefully annotated to provide historical context, this volume offers valuable primary-source material for scholars of social and regional history, while remaining accessible and engaging for general readers and visitors interested in the lived experience of North Shore history. The thought-provoking columns written to entertain, still resonate one hundred years later.
