After moving to Vancouver Island from the Prairies in the early 2000s, Carolyn Redl made it her mission to learn as much as she could about life along the Salish Sea.

It describes places as diverse as Malcolm Island, the Sunshine Coast, and Stamp Falls. Experiences range from viewing orcas in the distance to finding sand dollars, Turkish towels, and nudibranchs in the intertidal zone. While celebrating the area’s idyllic setting and warm climate, the book also recognizes potential threats such as earthquakes, water shortages, and challenges for gardeners. Illustrated throughout with stunning photography, Four Seasons by the Salish Sea is a must-have book for anyone who dreams of living by the sea.
