After Attorney Kwame Agyei-Poku wins the heart of a beautiful young British woman, they marry and have a daughter together. With his position in the Ministry of Justice, Kwame and his family live in a large manor with servants—a far cry from his childhood living conditions, a life he has kept well hidden from his wife and daughter. He has never introduce them to his family. In fact, he has not seen his father in thirty years, since that fateful evening that changed everything.

The ordeal caused him such anxiety, heartache, and loneliness that he never told his wife the true reason he did not want to return to his childhood village. Moreover, from an experience he witnessed as a child, he knows that marrying a foreigner is considered taboo in his father’s house, and he is worried about how they might receive her. But after years of pressure from his wife and daughter, and with no excuses left, Kwame agrees to take them to meet his long-lost family. As they take the long and arduous journey to his childhood village and spend time there, Kwame must face not only his father and his father’s family once again but also the past that haunts him. And never would the family of three have imagined all the surprises they would discover on their trip—ones that would shape their lives forever.

and the Evolution of AI by e. b. bonenfant
Mara, a woman with a mysterious past and a connection to the Maya civilization, realizes a truth that many others seem to be able to ignore: We must cherish and protect what we have before is too late. Driven to prevent global warming and the extinction of many of Earth’s species, Mara feels drawn to return to Palenque, Mexico—a place that holds special memories from her past. Once there, she regains possession of a once lost crystal from the planet Arganea, which provides her with special mental and healing powers.

Together, this group works to prevent climate change and change attitudes and policies about conservation. While their work takes them around the world to places such as Chile, Alaska, and Sault Ste Marie in Northern Ontario, they also face many challenges. These include dangerous poachers, kidnappers, and even advanced artificial intelligence that might be the ultimate threat to—or saviour of—humankind.

Yesterday's Sorrow
Writing my way to a new life by Akeba G Canning
At four years old, Akeba Canning saw the world as a paradise. Born to Grenadian parents in Trinidad, she spent much of her early childhood eating mangoes, chasing butterflies, and idolizing her older brothers. But at age eight, a sudden upheaval from the only home and family she’d ever known sent her life careening in an unforeseen direction. From Trinidad to Grenada to Canada, Akeba describes with heartbreaking candor the neglect, abuse, and confusion that infused her childhood and young adulthood as she was shunted between family members. She was largely left alone to navigate complex trauma and found herself mired repeatedly in sorrow and anger. Nevertheless, she clung to the possibility of happiness, nurturing a love of nature, athletics, and the performing arts, and creating a rich inner world for herself. Full of intimate stories, from early sexual experiences with other girls to abuse at the hands of her adoptive father and inner battles with body image and gender identity, this book is a testament to the redemptive power of speaking—and writing—one’s truth. On love and grief, dreams and nightmares, paradise lost, and faith found, Yesterday’s Sorrow chronicles the coming-of-age of one brave and vulnerable woman. These words capture the universal human experience of searching for one’s place in a cruel, exquisite world.

I Am a Book, Not Food!

You know the ones I’m talking about. Even when they’re actively being read to, some kids just can’t resist the allure of trying to stick an entire book in their mouth. And that’s okay—because this book is here to remind them that books are meant to be read. Not eaten.
