Banking The Fire
by Ginny Fanthome
Four seasoned campers annually escape their good jobs and alternative lifestyles for a trip they all look forward to – their beloved back-country camping excursion. But this time, they find their lives capsized like an overturned canoe when one friend invites a co-worker along – a younger, affluent guy who loves K-Pop, online shopping, and life’s creature comforts – and who’s never been camping before. While the trip starts off hesitant and somewhat rocky, the new friend slowly endears himself to at least some of the group, which causes them all to re-evaluate their friendships and allegiances.

The Tree
by Paul Gregory
Borneo, 1943: The Japanese occupation has ravaged the island and its indigenous tribes. When an Australian bombing mission goes disastrously wrong, plane tactician John and his fellow soldiers crash deep in the jungle – straight into the territory of the Dayak headhunters. Torak, a respected Dayak warrior, discovers the wreckage. While some tribesmen want to kill the surviving foreigners to protect their people, Torak recalls another outsider who once lived among them with honour. Guided by Dayak tradition, he spares the soldiers’ lives – setting in motion a fragile alliance between cultures. Back in Australia, the Army enlists anthropologist Tom Evans, who once lived with the Dayak, to assist in a rescue mission. Restless and eager to return to the people he admires, Tom plunges headfirst into the heart of the conflict – facing the unforgiving jungle, the Japanese army, and his own shifting loyalties. As John, Torak, and Tom’s worlds collide, survival becomes a test of courage, trust, and the boundaries of duty and friendship. The storyline focuses on the numerous obstacles and competing cultural ideals the men face as Torak and other Dayak warriors guide John, Tom and the surviving soldiers through the jungle to a predetermined extraction site.

Opioids
Burying the Truth One Person at a Time by Reggie J. E. Caverson
Millions of people across North America have been impacted by the ongoing opioid crisis, but why has it taken so long for us to make a serious dent in this crisis? And why is it still plaguing us today? Here, author Reggie Caverson, an addictions expert with over thirty years in the field, tries to answer these unwieldy questions, tracing the crisis back to its roots and offering solutions that could possibly mitigate some of the unimaginable harm caused since. In Opioids: Burying the Truth One Person at a Time, she outlines . . . • A chronology of the crisis since OxyContin was first marketed as a “miracle drug” in 1996 and the egregious mistakes that have been made by health regulators since that time • How police, as the initial whistleblower, witnessed a surge in opioid-related crimes which persist to this day • The impact on people with acute or chronic pain who continue to be prescribed highly potent and addictive opioids • The many other interwoven issues including the lack of data, the disproportionate impact on Indigenous peoples, on families, on those who have been incarcerated, on emergency responders, such as police, paramedics, and hospitals, and many others • The spill over into a new wave of addiction-related harm and crimes caused by manmade opioids such as fentanyl and other drugs found on the street To give hope, Caverson offers the need for an integrated four-pillar strategy aimed at addressing this crisis, focused on health promotion and prevention, addiction treatment, harm reduction, and enforcement. Powerful, compassionate, and incredibly thorough, Opioids: Burying the Truth One Person at a Time is a call for all hands on deck and the need to work together to face this crisis head-on.

Outrageous Synchronicity
Journey to the Sacred by Judith Crichton
Outrageous Synchronicity is a captivating memoir that will challenge conventional paradigms and inspire the reader to a deeper knowledge of life and relationships. Offering a unique blend of the mystical and the everyday, it traces one woman’s life-changing journey as she seeks truth and knowledge in the face of personal upheaval and grief. Judith Crichton seemed to have it all — success as a senior executive in a major international financial firm, a young family, and a sharp, analytical mind. But a single extraordinary event in her early forties shattered her sense of reality and launched her into a world of psychic insight, spiritual awakenings, and synchronicities too precise to ignore. In an engaging narrative, she chronicles incidents from telepathy and precognition to near-death and shared-death experiences and explores leading science behind them. Emerging from the heart of this true story are several key relationships including two with independent, respected clairvoyants whose “superabilities” the rest of us don’t have, and two more, one with a historic 17th C nun and mystic, and another with an ephemeral WWII German soldier. Outrageous Synchronicity: Journey to the Sacred provides legitimacy to those who experience the anomalous in their lives. It offers, as well, an invitation to explore what lies just beyond the veil of reality as we know it.

Shadows in the Burmese Jungle
The Story of Red Maddox Behind Enemy Lines 1941 - 1945 by Rodney W. Anderson
Often referred to as the Forgotten War, the Battle for Burma was fought in a geographically challenging and isolated region far from the major population centers of the time. But for the people who took part in it, the battle was a personal struggle to defend their homes from imminent Japanese invasion. Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Reginald Maddox was one such soldier. Born in Burma to a single mother, Patrick Maddox and his twin sister were adopted by the very doctor who oversaw their birth, Dr. Maddox. In 1941, Patrick enlisted in the Burma Rifles and was seconded to the Office of Strategic Services—Detachment 101. He spent the majority of the war behind enemy lines, using guerrilla warfare tactics to take down enemies in the hot, humid jungles. Part memoir and part autobiography, Shadows in the Burmese Jungle combines Patrick Maddox’s personal diaries with military records and first-person accounts from fellow soldiers to convey the challenges, sacrifices, and dangerous environment faced during the famous Battle of Burma. A perfect book for World War II history enthusiasts, it chronicles the physical and psychological toll of war, the heroism and sacrifice demanded from both soldiers and civilians, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

What Remains After the Fire
by Maki Motapanyane
To every woman who has endured what should have broken her. Time, that strange and tender animal, softened the sharpest edges. And I, weary of holding only the wound, began to turn the blade into a mirror. In What Remains After the Fire, Maki Motapanyane gently explores themes of rupture, survival, and the quiet work of reassembling the self, drawing on her personal experience to peel back the layers of time, memory, and healing for readers. Motapanyane's poems are not memoir, but they are true, gathered into four arcs: Wound, Return, Kin, and Sanctum. Each poem is shaped by Motapanyane’s life as a daughter, mother, survivor, and scholar, as she makes sense of the world from within its deep contradictions.
