A Flicker of Time
by Neil Katz
On special assignment, young journalist Annie is sent to interview Jack Cohen, a 107-year-old man living in a seniors’ care home, Jack eagerly shares his life story—one that stretches across a century of history, from the Great Depression and World War II to the boomer years, disco, and beyond. Born in a poor Jewish neighbourhood in Toronto in 1914, Jack was the eldest of five. After the death of his mother during childbirth, he was left to care for his siblings while his father worked long hours. Things were not easy for Jack, and hardship seemed to follow him—through boyhood, manhood, and fatherhood—but his father’s advice, “Adapt! Do the right thing at the right time,” became his guiding light. Sometimes it carried him through. . . . Sometimes it led him astray. . . . For Annie, Jack’s story is riveting, romantic, and sorrowful. But Jack is quick to point out her naivety, warning her that life is not a fairy tale. Life, he tells her, is a series of choices—some wise, some costly—and the learning never ends. Inspired by true stories from the author’s father, A Flicker of Time is a sweeping historical drama about resilience, love, and the endurance of the human spirit.

That Summer in Jasper Park
A Novel of Romance and Adventure High in the Canadian Rockies by Wayne Sherrard
"In no time, I was soaked and so scared I was shaking. I couldn’t believe I was in the middle of the thunder cloud. It grew very dark, almost like nighttime. Clouds swirled all around me with high winds. I hugged the boulder to keep the winds from blowing me off the mountain. My heart pounded as though it were going to burst. Lightning continued to flash. Loose rocks rolled by me, and little streams of rushing water threatened to cause a minor landslide. I prayed the boulder I was hugging would stay put." It’s 1968 and twenty-year-old Wayne is looking for a little summer romance and some real adventure before he buckles down for a hard school year in the fall. And when he gets a summer job at gorgeous Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, he can hardly believe his luck. There are stunning mountains to climb, pretty girls in abundance, and loads of fun things to do with all the other young people working there. Along with scaling some of Maligne Lake’s impressive peaks, an ambitious activity that on one foolhardy excursion almost costs him his life, Wayne’s got big things he wants to do before he settles down. He has no intention at all of getting seriously involved with any girl. But man plans and God laughs, as the saying goes, and when Wayne gets romantically entangled with lovely, spirited, sweet Eileen, his personal agenda begins to go seriously astray. Set in a more innocent time, amidst stunning vistas, sixties pop music, and twenty-something angst, That Summer in Jasper Park teaches us that once true love comes into the picture our best-laid plans can go completely awry.

Fugitive Rifts
by A-M Mawhiney
Does everyone have secrets? When four teens are invited to meet after school with a teacher, the butterfly effect of this one small event soon changes their dreams about their futures. Thrown together to form, of all things, a debate team, the four—Grace, a popular star basketball player, Drew, a privileged hotshot, Ollie, an artistic new student, and Dottie a shy, brilliant loner—seem to have nothing in common. And not one of them believes they have what it takes to be successful debaters. Over time, the four teens start helping each other through tough times and begin to realize they are more alike than they thought. Taking part in a public debate turns out to have unintended consequences that affect the four teens, each in different ways. Then the disappearance of one upends not only the lives of the four teens, but it also creates a ripple effect that shapes, over time, what happens to other people from their communities, their country—and even the world. Fugitive Rifts is a compelling and empowering story of coming of age, resilience, and friendship, with emotional passages that are authentic, visceral, and bring the characters to life.
