Cheyenne's body suddenly without warning began turning against her with fierce and haunting attacks of ravaging pain and fear ripping through her with such vengence that with each onslaught she thought that she was surely losing her mind. It wasn't her mind that she was losing though, it was her mind and memory that she was gaining as her subconscious was battling to give her consciousness the details of a past so traumatic that her conscious couldn't deal with the reality, and stored all of the horror into the subconscious memory bank away from the devastation that the knowlege would have caused her. She had been safe for many years until recently, when out of nowhere a juggernaut jolted her subconscious and cracked open the contents as it struggled to come out of hiding to reek havoc once more on the mind and soul of the quiet, sullen and withdrawn cheyenne. With the emotional storm at hand, trying to crest, Cheyenne began investigating her own hauntings, only to find out the truth about herself, and what her deceiving parents had tried to keep buried for so long. With each clue and truth, others did whatever they could do to stop her from discovering her past, and finding out who was responsible. Her rewards at the end of this trecherous journey was a great love, the conviction of those who tried to destroy her, and a very special person enters her life. A very poignant story.

From the 1960s until his death in 2000, Al Purdy was one of the most prominent writers in Canada, famous for his frank language and his boisterous personality. He travelled the country and wrote about its people and places from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. A central figure in the CanLit explosion of the sixties and seventies, Purdy has been called the best, the most, and the last Canadian poet. But Purdy's Canada no longer exists. A changing country and shifting attitudes toward Canadian literature demand new perspectives on Purdy's impact and accomplishments. An Echo in the Mountains reassesses Purdy's works, the shape of his career, and his literary legacy, grappling with the question of how to read Purdy today, a century after his birth and in a new era of Canadian literature. Contributors to the volume examine Purdy's critical reception, explore little-known documents and textual problems, and analyze his representations of Canadian history and Indigenous peoples and cultures. They show that much remains to be discovered and understood about the poet and his immense body of work. The first sustained examination of Al Purdy's works in over a decade, An Echo in the Mountains showcases the critical challenges and rewards of rereading an iconic and influential Canadian writer.

Inuit Women is the definitive study of the Inuit during a time of rapid change. Based on fourteen years of research and fieldwork, this analysis focuses on the challenges facing Inuit women as they enter the twenty-first century. Written shortly after the creation of Nunavut, a new province carved out of traditional Inuit homelands in the Canadian North, this compelling book combines conclusions drawn from the authors' ethnographic research with the stories of Inuit women and men, told in their own words. In addition to their presentation of the personal portraits and voices of many Inuit respondents, Janet Mancini Billson and Kyra Mancini explore global issues: the impact of rapid social change and Canadian resettlement policy on Inuit culture; women's roles in society; and gender relations in Baffin Island, in the Eastern Arctic. They also include an extensive section on how the newly created territory of Nunavut is impacting the lives of Inuit women and their families. Working from a research approach grounded in feminist theory, the authors involve their Inuit interviewees as full participants in the process. This book stands alone in its attention to Inuit women's issues and lives and should be read by everyone interested in gender relations, development, modernization, globalization, and Inuit culture.

Over the century between the first Oblate mission to the Canadian central Arctic in 1867 and the radical shifts brought about by Vatican II, the region was the site of complex interactions between Inuit, Oblate missionaries, and Grey Nuns – interactions that have not yet received the attention they deserve. Enriching archival sources with oral testimony, Frédéric Laugrand and Jarich Oosten provide an in-depth analysis of conversion, medical care, education, and vocation in the Keewatin region of the Northwest Territories. They show that while Christianity was adopted by the Inuit and major transformations occurred, the Oblates and the Grey Nuns did not eradicate the old traditions or assimilate the Inuit, who were caught up in a process they could not yet fully understand. The study begins with the first contact Inuit had with Christianity in the Keewatin region and ends in the mid-1960s, when an Inuk woman joined the Grey Nuns and two Inuit brothers became Oblate missionaries. Bringing together many different voices, perspectives, and experiences, and emphasizing the value of multivocality in understanding this complex period of Inuit history, Inuit, Oblate Missionaries, and Grey Nuns in the Keewatin, 1865–1965 highlights the subtle nuances of a long and complex interaction, showing how salvation and suffering were intertwined.

The Voice and the Echo follows five friends: Marcus, Clive, Clara, Dave and Mike, who produce a university newspaper, The Student Voice, in the north of England. From their meeting in the mid-1960s, we follow their lives through all the major news events of the following forty years, from the swinging Sixties to industrial unrest in the Seventies and Eighties, and institutional racism and corruption within the police and tabloid press. Marcus finds himself shrugging off his student politics and embracing Thatcherism as his career takes off at the Daily Echo. On his watch, his staff are bullied, stories are invented and manipulated, telephones are hacked, and policemen are bribed. He shuns his former friends and attempts to undermine Dave, now a junior minister in the Blair government. Meanwhile, easy-going Clive Parkhouse joins a Yorkshire paper, edited by Mike. He witnesses the miners’ strike firsthand and the one-sided reporting in the media. Clive resigns and develops a career at a radio station, but following the death of his wife, he drinks heavily, loses his job and steals from his daughter’s inheritance. He collaborates with Lucy Kwame, a newspaper reporter, on an investigation into police racism. He is unaware that Lucy is Clara Tomlin’s daughter. Clara is unmarried, and Lucy does not know the identity of her father. Giving a gritty, honest account of social unrest from the 1960s onwards, The Voice and The Echowill appeal to anyone familiar with or may have witnessed these events, or those interested in learning more about the period.

A steady rise through the ranks, from volunteer to spiritual warrior, Drybones remains faithful and true to each office he is appointed to.

More an Echo Than a Sound is an exploration of the hardships of living in a fallen world, of promises in the face of futility, and the power of the true Gospel to liberate without denying the reality of the failure and frustration we all face.

Fig's life at school is perfectly normal: he's sure his science teacher hates him, his dad is forcing him to attend barmitzvah classes because his mum would have wanted it, and he's just been passed over for the football team in favor of Gus Starks, a ball hog and a bully. And, as if Fig's life needed one more complication, his grandmother Gigi is unexpectedly coming to stay with him and his dad for a while. As Gig helps Fig navigate the obstacles of school and a tough football season, Fig comes to understand some important things: about his religion, about his family, and about Fig himself. Echo Still is a sports story about refusing to give up on one’s dreams regardless of the obstacles. It’s a school story, about an ordinary 12-year-old boy dealing with the everyday challenges of growing up. But most compellingly, Echo Still offers a moving depiction of the healing power of a grandmother’s love. Infused with Jewish values and affection for Jewish rituals and holidays, this novel will certainly appeal to Jewish communities everywhere, but the deep humanity of Echo Still will resonate with readers of all backgrounds.
