The Prince of the Village
by Bartin Barkhouse
Life in the small Acadian village of Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, in the early 1900s is a simple one. The children travel to the one-room schoolhouse each day while their parents work in the home or in the local brickerie. The men often find themselves working deep in the woods felling trees for months at a time, or on the ocean hoping to catch enough fish to support their families. No one has a lot of money, but the members of this community support one another through all of life’s ups and downs. Young Cecilia Roma has grown up in a nearby village, and watches as her fellow neighbours move to large cities in the United States, where jobs are plentiful and enticing. But there is someone who is keeping Cecilia tied to her roots—Gabriel de Bellefontaine, a young man two years her senior from a nearby village. Though few words have passed between the two of them, Gabriel finally gathers the courage to ask Cecilia on an outing. Their romance is fierce but fleeting. Cecilia’s parents force the couple apart, fearing that Cecilia’s honour and innocence are in jeopardy. Once in the provincial capital of Halifax, Cecilia realizes how strong and independent she can be. Life outside of Chezzetcook is not the scary place she once envisioned, but she must make the ultimate decision on whether a future with Gabriel is worth sacrificing.

Happiness with Scars
A Jouney Toward Healing and Transformation by Yamel López Madero
"Scars are the evidence of a life fully lived." Happiness with Scars is an intimate and sincere work that explores emotional resilience and the idea that happiness can exist alongside pain rather than in denial of it. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi—the practice of mending broken pottery with gold to honor its fractures—author Yamel López suggests that past wounds do not simply vanish, but can instead be reshaped into symbols of growth, awareness, and inner strength. Through personal reflections and lived experiences shaped by hardship, loss, and renewal, Yamel López offers a thoughtful journey of healing and transformation. With openness, vulnerability, and hope, she encourages readers to accept their imperfections, find meaning within their struggles, and recognize that happiness is not separate from their scars, but deeply connected to the strength those scars represent.

Supply Base Design Checklist
An Electronic Designer's Guide to Success by Ken J Bradley
It’s taken for granted that a product’s inception is solely a matter of design. Particularly in the world of electronic product design, architects and designers hold the reigns in the earliest stages, leaving the involvement of procurement and operations until later—often, too late. When a product’s supply base isn’t a primary concern from its very inception, companies leave themselves open to vulnerabilities in sourcing—materials shortages, price fluctuations, and unreliable producers, among much else. Drawing on his many years of experience in semiconductor technology and product development, including as a chief procurement officer, Ken J Bradley argues compellingly for procurement’s involvement in a product’s design from Day 1, and provides an organized guide for ensuring it across all stages of its lifecycle, including . . . • How to make procurement a part of the design team • How supply base design helps ensure pricing power for sourcing components from the get-go • How bills of materials (BoMs) can be optimized by involving procurement early • How to vet suppliers with both design and sourcing in mind • How to design a product thinking ahead to its end of life (EOL) • How involving procurement in design can help better prepare your company for the coming AI shift • So much else! Full of thoughtful insights and practical checklists, Supply Base Design Checklist is a revolution in thinking when it comes to electronic product design, helping your company ensure your product is both technically and practically sound, reliant on a solid supply base across its lifecycle.
