Yesterday's Sorrow
Writing my way to a new life by Akeba G Canning
At four years old, Akeba Canning saw the world as a paradise. Born to Grenadian parents in Trinidad, she spent much of her early childhood eating mangoes, chasing butterflies, and idolizing her older brothers. But at age eight, a sudden upheaval from the only home and family she’d ever known sent her life careening in an unforeseen direction. From Trinidad to Grenada to Canada, Akeba describes with heartbreaking candor the neglect, abuse, and confusion that infused her childhood and young adulthood as she was shunted between family members. She was largely left alone to navigate complex trauma and found herself mired repeatedly in sorrow and anger. Nevertheless, she clung to the possibility of happiness, nurturing a love of nature, athletics, and the performing arts, and creating a rich inner world for herself. Full of intimate stories, from early sexual experiences with other girls to abuse at the hands of her adoptive father and inner battles with body image and gender identity, this book is a testament to the redemptive power of speaking—and writing—one’s truth. On love and grief, dreams and nightmares, paradise lost, and faith found, Yesterday’s Sorrow chronicles the coming-of-age of one brave and vulnerable woman. These words capture the universal human experience of searching for one’s place in a cruel, exquisite world.

I Am a Book, Not Food!
by Jennifer Hofer
“Hello, I am a book. It is important to remember that I am not food. There are lots of wondrous things in books, but none of them taste good. That’s because books are for reading, not eating!” I Am a Book, Not Food! is a funny, easy book for young readers who might still think the best place for a book is in their mouth. You know the ones I’m talking about. Even when they’re actively being read to, some kids just can’t resist the allure of trying to stick an entire book in their mouth. And that’s okay—because this book is here to remind them that books are meant to be read. Not eaten.

Crescendo to Becoming
A Memoir of My Life by Francesco Fiorentino
This book is truly Cav. Francesco Fiorentino's labor of love. It was originally written around 2010 but was abandoned when the author lost his forty-four-year-old daughter to cancer. Thanks to the insistence and inspiration of his twelve grandchildren the rewriting of the book has been resurrected into this edition entitled Crescendo to Becoming, which translates to Growing to Becoming. Through this book, the author shares with us most, if not all, the kinds and types of person he has become during his lifetime, including some of his beliefs, some of his knowledge, and some of his feelings that impacted and influenced greatly what he ultimately became. The book is also a testimonial about his strong belief that God is the Creator of all things visible and invisible, but he makes no bones about the fact that God created us to be always in a crescendo mode, and in that, we have the opportunity to have considerable input and influence into what we ultimately become. The book makes a strong case, that while there is a lot that a person cannot control in his life, there is also a great deal that he can control: what he thinks, what he does, what he says, and what he becomes. In conclusion, the author believes that we always become tomorrow that which today we still are not. Everything we think, everything we are, and everything we can become is only possible because we are able to grow, learn, and change.

The Family that Conquered Everest
by Alan Mallory
An awe-inspiring true story that takes the reader on a remarkable family journey from the flatlands of suburbia to the top of the world. Climbing Mount Everest is one of humanity's greatest feats of physical, emotional and psychological endurance. Alan Mallory and his family took on the challenge and became the first family of four to set foot on the summit of the world's highest peak. It was a two-month journey filled with emotion, loyalty, adventure and terror. From staggering across ladders spanning seemingly bottomless crevasses and fighting exhausting bouts of altitude-related sickness to climbing through a blizzard in the dead of night and almost losing two family members' lives, every segment of the climb was an exhilarating and unforgettable challenge. This particular expedition is a fantastic example of the importance of strong family values and maintaining a deep level of trust between team members. The story highlights many of the background experiences and adventures that prepared the Mallorys to take on such a challenge, and explores the key traits that are essential for a safe and successful outcome to any team endeavour.
