In the Company of Men
Who We Are And How We Become by Patricia Carlson
When Patricia Carlson walked through the doors of a men’s homeless shelter in Fredericton, New Brunswick, in 1995, she had no idea how profoundly her life—and the lives of countless others—would be changed. As the first female director of a shelter that catered to men, she entered a world of loss, laughter, faith, and survival, where the boundaries between helper and helped began to blur. Over twelve transformative years, Patricia bore witness to the human spirit in all its rawness and resilience, from moments of chaos and heartbreak to acts of astonishing tenderness and grace. Alongside men whom society had cast aside, she discovered the deeper meaning of service, that to truly help others is to be remade by them in return. Told with unflinching honesty, humour, and compassion, In the Company of Men pulls back the curtain on non-profit work—its bureaucratic battles, its moral contradictions, and its small, hard-won triumphs. Through vivid stories of friendship, grief, and redemption, Patricia illuminates what it means to be fully human in a world too often blind to its own brokenness. For anyone who has ever worked in the trenches of social service, volunteered in a shelter, or simply wondered what happens to those our systems forget, this book offers a searing exposé and a hymn to hope.

Is the Sky Always Blue?
by Talin Kaloustian
Kids love to ask why things are the way they are. But a lot of adults don’t have an answer to one of their most common questions: why is the sky blue? It turns out, there’s some pretty complicated science that goes into making our sky the color it is! Everything from wave lengths and dipoles to the Rayleigh and Mie light-scattering principles come into play. Is the Sky Always Blue? simplifies that complex science for young minds. Using clear, easy to understand language and bright, engaging pictures, the book gives every child the answers they’ve been waiting for. A little Glow-of-Light, the narrator, walks kids through the science at play in our atmosphere, explaining why the sky can be so many different colors from the time we wake up until the end of the day. The beautiful artwork and charming story will have even the least scientific kid rattling off the secrets of the sky. Meanwhile, a glossary digs into the scientific terms behind the phenomenon, providing age-appropriate insight for every child and their parents.

Regulating the Inner You
A Photographic and Poetic Twist on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy Skills by Jessica McLeod
Spinning like a top—that’s sometimes how I feel. And then what do you do with these feelings? How do you slow down—or, better yet, stop? With stress only compounding in our modern age, we need innovative coping techniques, ones we can return to again and again. Author Jessica McLeod understands this need more than most. She’s been there. But after incorporating dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) into her own life, Jessica found herself on a new path, one towards personal transformation. Now she’s written Regulating the Inner You: A Photographic and Poetic Twist on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy Skills to help readers do the same. This self-help guide is a creative exploration of the four principles of DBT: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. From practical strategies to affirmations and coping kits, this guide offers techniques to improve mental health and quality of life. Learn how to shift from a negative, judgmental mindset to a positive, accepting perspective. Inventive and individual, Regulating the Inner You isn’t the average DBT textbook or self-help manual. It blends cognitive restructuring skills with poetry and photography to show a more creative way to self-manage. And once we learn how to spin with control and intention, don’t all other transformations feel possible?

Three Swords
The Quest For Redemption by K.M. Trott
Ten companions of Deida set out on a quest to the kingdom of Kalhart in search of one man. Instead, amid danger and destruction, they find love and a greater understanding of themselves. Leonardo and Link are brothers who have forgotten their past. Joining them are Willow and Buddy, often the mature presence in this strong-headed company; Alec and Darren, two young brothers wrestling with their powers and their strength; Ryan and Vance, a strong fighter and a medic; and Amy and Zoey, the moral compass and the heart of the group. When the companions dash into a burning village to save it, they learn that this settlement and the kingdom have been conquered by the demonic usurper, Caddomai, and his army of demons. When Caddomai proves too much for the companions to handle, the undaunted party travels by land and sea, battling the elements and their own conflicting emotions in hopes of a second chance. If they can learn to harness their powers-and if they can learn to trust each other-they might be able to rid the land of Caddomai, the demon army and restore the kingdom to its rightful owners. Three Swords: The Quest for Redemption is part of a duology with its prequel, Three Swords: The Rise of Evil, forthcoming.

Maniac
by James P. Doyle
In a quiet town in Ontario, a grisly murder rocks the community to its core. And sitting at the centre of the violence is the killer—Jacob Dorrit. Dorrit willingly turns himself in. But why? When Detectives Steve Warner and his partner, Mark Bonisteel, confront him, Dorrit laughs ominously. He knows much more than he lets on—he’s holding the strings, and some of them lead directly to Steve. Is Steve hiding something from his past—something that, if exposed, could destroy his career? Meanwhile, reporters Leanne Walsh and Spencer Haines team up to break the story. With police keeping details under wraps, the pair plan a major exposé on the murder and the victim. At the same time, Mark follows a lead of his own—one that could shatter more than just the community. Before he’s swept up in the madness, Steve must uncover Dorrit’s motive—all the while competing against a pair of relentless journalists and his own partner. Who will uncover the truth first? And what will happen to Steve—or the community, or beyond—when they do? A gripping, high-stakes thriller, Maniac takes the reader on a twisted journey through good and evil, love and duty, and the fickleness of fate.
