Relatable
by Candice Spilchuk
Relatable is a collection of easy-to-read rhyming poems exploring marriage, divorce, parenting, mental health, and so much more. While some poems were written when the poet was a kid, most are inspired by all of the life events Candice has experienced as an adult. When she was only eighteen years old, Candice was with a man twenty years older, and they were engaged to be married a year later. She became a business owner at the age of twenty and was the bread winner for her family. Struggling financially, Candice felt the severe pressures of being poor, all while still trying to get ahead. But she continued to work extremely hard, even during both of her pregnancies, only taking a month off after the births in order to support her family. After she had her babies when she was twenty-four and twenty-five years old, Candice finally realized her narcissist husband was taking advantage of her. She left the abusive marriage when her babies were ten months old and twenty-two months old. With his severe abuse towards her and absence from the kids, Candice got full custody and raised her babies alone with no father, until God answered her prayers. Candice met the love of her life, and he showed her what love and acceptance truly feels like. They married two years later, followed by him adopting her children. She was further blessed by inheriting his two boys, and now she has the big family she’s always dreamed of. These life events, all the hardships and joys, inspired Candice to write this book. Inspiring and poignant, Relatable reflects on life’s challenges with candor and vulnerability. These poems show the power of persistence, faith, and love.

Road to Justice
by Art Miki
Art Miki was five years old in May 1942, when the Canadian government forced him and his family to leave their home in British Columbia because they were Japanese. As part of a special law that gave the government extra power during wartime, thousands of Japanese people in Canada were interned during the Second World War, which meant they lost their homes and had to work in camps, on farms, or wherever else the government made them go. Art and his family were sent to a sugar beet farm in Manitoba, where they continued to face racism from the government and other Canadians. Many years later, Art worked with other Japanese Canadians to make the government answer for the injustice of internment. After a lot of hard work and collaboration, they finally achieved redress for the wrongs that had been done to them. Recognizing that his family’s experience was one of many human rights violations in Canada, Art helped other groups fight for their rights, too. When we work together, we have the power to push back against injustice and build a better world. Stories like Art’s can show us how.

by Timothy Brushett
In a fantastic version of 1960s Nova Scotia, a remarkable dog named Crusoe, haunted and hardened by loss, makes his home in the overgrown wild lands of the Dartmouth Commons. It is here that Crusoe witnesses a strange but kindly man who returns day after day in an effort to restore the Commons to its former grandeur. After an unexpected encounter with a young elf girl named Elena, Crusoe learns that his fate is inextricably interwoven with that of the man, the elves, and an ancient evil that has made its lair beneath the park’s summer house and begun to spread its tendrils throughout the Commons. Still bearing the burden of sorrow and memory, Crusoe now must face a destiny grander than he could ever have foreseen. Inspired by the true story of Leighton Dillman and the Dartmouth Commons, Crusoe and the Stone Gardener is an enchanting and unforgettable tale of grief, love, and wonder. The magic of this timeless tale will take root in the reader’s imagination and remain with them always.
