Though he might look at his shoes when he talks and has a bit of a stutter, Sander is one of the biggest characters you’ll ever meet. Sander’s Parachute, Unimog, Combine, Spy Plane, and Guest is a collection of delightful stories centered on Sander, short for Aleksander, the narrator’s northerly neighbor. Whether he’s establishing a quasi-greenhouse for the locals, or building a bi-plane spy plane by hand using auction and thrift store finds, Sander has no shortage of agricultural and mechanical knowledge, like any hardworking Northern farmer worth his salt, and it always comes in handy. As the landscape of the Canadian North—literally and metaphorically—changes before him, Sander finds himself faced with a sense of loss as farms grow larger and families move away, and the hard-won homesteads of the past become homes to wild animal tenants. But the spirit of the rough-and-tumble North lives on in Sander, he remains a pilgrim from another time, baffling and charming and devoted to the betterment of anyone in his orbit. Though he might not, strictly speaking, have a way with women, he will brush shoulders with romance more than once. And though he is not, strictly speaking, the most forthcoming, he is one of the most cherished and best-loved neighbors any of the locals could have asked for.
One bag. Five rolls of film filled with grief. One chance to develop what’s left of love. For Liz Ferguson, grief arrived on a Tuesday, disguised as a camera bag. Shattered by the sudden death of Leo—her best friend and almost something more—Liz tries to outrun her sorrow at every turn. Until Leo’s camera bag unexpectedly arrives at her door. Inside Leo’s bag lies a note, his journal, his camera, and a handful of undeveloped film, each filled with fragments of his humour, philosophy, and love. Once a documentary-style photographer, Liz now finds herself developing the last rolls of film Leo left behind, unsure of where it will lead her. With each photograph serving as a bread crumb, Liz faithfully follows Leo’s trail to trust the blur and let the light back into her world. A poignant novella about grief and memories, The Missing Frame captures how to live again through the lens of a camera.
In the wild frontier of the 1890s, young Maggie leaves home, chasing freedom and the cowboy life she’s always admired. But her dream turns dark when she marries a violent drunk and is left for dead on the prairie. Rescued and taken to the saloon at Crosskeys Creek, Maggie finds herself surrounded by women working in the town’s brothel. While they entertain clients, she takes up sewing—quietly mending what she can with a silver thimble and trying to stitch her life back together. But honest work won’t save her late husband’s debt-ridden ranch, and Maggie isn’t the only woman facing limited choices. With the other women at the saloon, she hatches a daring plan. Disguised as men, they form an all-female gang and take justice into their own hands—robbing banks and reclaiming their futures. As danger closes in, Maggie must decide how far she’ll go to protect what matters most. The Silver Thimble Gang is a story of survival, found family, and hard-earned freedom in a world that rarely gives women a second chance.
Christine Nyirahbimana lived through the horrors of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, losing most of her family and narrowly escaping with her life. In her powerful memoir, Rwandan Massacre: God’s Divine Intervention, she takes readers back to that horrific experience and shows them how God carried her through unimaginable suffering and led her to the freedom that comes through forgiveness. Drawing on both Scripture and personal experience, Ms. Nyirahbimana reflects on trusting God in hardship and opening our hearts to His healing. Her unshakeable faith in God’s power to comfort, restore, and perform miracles will inspire readers throughout the journey to let go of anger and surrender their burdens to God. This testimony of transformation, told with honesty and grace, demonstrates how forgiving those who have caused pain not only restores peace with God but also brings emotional and physical healing. No matter how violent or evil the offense, God can intervene and do the unimaginable, offering life-changing forgiveness and eternal joy.
This booklet describes many years of struggling to make flying in a helicopter over water much safer. It analyses why, still in 2026, if you ditch, the awful statistic is that around 20% of crew and passengers will not survive, principally due to drowning. It is hoped that aircrew, passengers, scientists, engineers, clothing designers, regulators, and anyone interested in flight safety will find value in its contents and be able to read it without difficulty. Dr. Christopher Brooks, physician, scientist, inventor and historian, enjoyed an extensive and highly satisfying medical career in the navy, industry and private practice. From one extreme to another—service in a Polaris nuclear submarine to dangling from the hoist of the revered old Sea King to service at the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada—after 57 years, he has tied up alongside and finished with main engines and steering.
