Chipped
by K. A. Johnson
What’s a talisman to do when his human dies and he finds himself in the hands of someone she loved, but he can’t stand? Chip lived in Isabelle’s pocket for 25 years. He was her talisman—that little voice in her head that gave her the courage to travel from the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the beaches of Southern France and beyond. When she’s killed in a tragic accident, their magical bond unravels. Shared memories fade. Without his beloved human, Chip fears he’ll become nothing but a silent lump of stone. Isabelle’s niece Sara lives on the family farm under the strict control of her husband. Chip awakens one day to find he’s been shipped to her in a box of Isabelle’s belongings. Still grief stricken, he’s yearning for Isabelle’s voice and only pays attention to Sara because she sneaks into one of Isabelle’s journals to escape her own bleak existence. This isn’t the life Isabelle would’ve wanted for Sara, but Chip isn’t her talisman. He couldn’t help even if he wanted to; she can’t hear him. Sharing Isabelle’s words, however, might just give them both the strength they need to carry on. From the author of Trusting Bamboo Bridges comes Chipped, another poignant story of love, loss, and the struggle to find one’s own path.

Starting Again
by Nathalie Edwards
The year is 2024 and the world is still reeling from the pandemic that wiped out billions of people from the planet. Through a stroke of good (or bad) luck, it was discovered that the vaccine that was supposed to save humanity from the virus was actually a cure for cancer, and those eighteen million souls who received it are the only ones left. Two of those survivors are Charlie and Everett, who now have the opportunity to create lives for themselves wherever they choose. The world is literally open to them. Though they come from different walks of life, Everett a former member of the Canadian Navy, and Charlie a recovering alcoholic, they set out for one of the most beautiful places they can think of: Vancouver Island. With so few people left, it seems like fate that they should meet in a rural part of the island. Their connection is instant, and within days they realize that they want to spend the rest of their lives together. The love they share is full of honesty, trust, and passion. As they work together to find ways to survive in this reality, Charlie battles intense nightmares that also haunt her during the day. Everett is there to help ease her troubles, but Charlie can’t help thinking, is he too good to be true?

Suzy Snake, Garden Explorer
by Sandra R. James
Suzy Snake loves her garden home, with its flowers and shrubs and vegetable plants creating a perfect place for her to enjoy the sunshine and eat the many yummy pests that live there, too. Life is almost perfect until a new family moves into the house—a new family with two little girls who love to play outside, laughing and stomping about, completely unaware of Suzy’s existence … until one of them steps on Suzy’s tail! Chaos ensues, with Suzy hissing in shock and slithering away and the children screaming their heads off, terrified that there’s a snake in the garden—though they’re not nearly as terrified of Suzy as Suzy is of them. Luckily, Mom soon comes to the rescue—as moms generally do—and quickly realizes that Suzy is just a harmless garter snake. Now she just has to try to convince her nervous children that having a snake like Suzy in their garden is actually a good thing, and that sharing it with her is a better option than trying to keep it all for themselves. A colourfully entertaining and informative story for children (ages 4–10), Suzy Snake, Garden Explorer teaches young kids about one of nature’s most misunderstood and feared animals, the snake, and the value of both protecting the natural world and sharing it peacefully with its non-human inhabitants … even the creepy ones.

Hopelessness to Normalcy
The Remarkable History of Hemophilia Care in Canada by Man-Chiu Poon and Robert T. Card
Hopelessness to Normalcy takes readers on a compelling journey through the evolution of hemophilia care in Canada, providing a detailed and personal account of its many transformations—good, bad, and disastrous. Drawing on over fifty years of experience, respected hematologists Dr. Man-Chiu Poon and Dr. Robert T. Card combine firsthand insights with interviews from more than seventy healthcare professionals and patients to tell the captivating, in-depth story of hemophilia care in Canada. Through rigorous research and deeply personal perspectives, Hopelessness to Normalcy not only traces the history of hemophilia treatment in Canada, but also underscores the importance of evolving care practices, the development of allied healthcare professional groups, and the enduring compassion that has sustained those living with bleeding disorders through unspeakable adversity. This book delves into the trauma and tragedy of the "tainted blood era" of the 1980s, a time when unsafe blood products caused devastation to many. Yet it also highlights the resilience of the hemophilia care community, from the formation of the Association of Hemophilia Clinic Directors of Canada (AHCDC) in 1994 to the hope that now exists for a potential cure. This invaluable resource is a must-read for hemophilia clinic directors, healthcare professionals, patients, and anyone with an interest in the history of healthcare, blood disorders, and the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS. It is a moving and insightful record of struggle, survival, and hope.
