| Title: A Boy of Good Breeding |
| By (author): Miriam Toews |
| ISBN10-13: 086492464X : 9780864924643 |
| Life in the big city just wasn't working out for Knute and her four-year-old daughter. So they've come back home to the prairie backwater of Algren to live with Knute's parents. Before long, the easygoing single mom gets mixed up in Mayor Hosea Funk's scheme for meeting the Prime Minister (;whom he believes to be his mysterious cowboy father);. All they have to do is ensure that Algren's population stays at an even 1,500, thus winning the contest for smallest town in Canada. But that's no easy task — what with folks getting married, women having triplets, and the unexpected return of Knute's old boyfriend Max. |

| Title: A Complicated Kindness |
| By (author): Miriam Toews Narrator: Cara Pifko |
| ISBN10-13: 0864923279 : 9780864923271 |
| What Nomi Nickel needs most is a bus ticket out of town. For now, however, the rebellious 16-year-old is stuck living with her hapless father, Ray, in a bungalow in East Village — not the hip one in New York City but a smug Mennonite community ruled by her pious uncle, "The Mouth." Nomi's sister, Tash, left town a few years ago in her boyfriend's truck. Soon afterwards, their mother, Trudie, disappeared. Now there's nothing left but to piece together these mysterious defections and rage against the fundamentalist bullies. Wise, edgy, and wickedly funny, Nomi has wooed thousands of readers with her bittersweet tale of teenaged angst in Mennonite country. Cara Pifko's narration strikes just the right note of childish bravado and wistful sarcasm. |

| Title: A Student of Weather |
| By (author): Elizabeth Hay Narrator: Jennifer Overton |
| ISBN10-13: 0864923252 : 9780864923257 |
| In the opening scene of this luminous story, a handsome stranger emerges out of a storm in the midst of the Prairie Dust Bowl, setting off a 30-year rivalry. A finalist for the 2000 Giller Prize, A Student of Weather demonstrates that some accidents in life are note easily forgotten. When Maurice Doves arrives at the Hardy family homestead to study its strange weather patterns, eight-year-old Norma Joyce falls madly in love with him. So does her sister, Lucinda. In painterly prose akin to that of Alice Hoffman and Isabel Allende, Hay describes Norma Joyce's journey from the Prairies of the 1930s to post-war Ottawa and New York. In this celebrated novel, Elizabeth Hay tells a dark, erotic, richly textured story of obsessive love. Narrated by stage and television actor Jennifer Overton, this audio edition of A Student of Weather lays bare an emotional landscape full of surprise and contradiction. |

| Title: Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast |
| By (author): Bill Richardson Narrator: Bill Richardson |
| ISBN10-13: 0864922515 : 9780864922519 |
| Settle in for an amusing visit with Hector and Virgil, the twin hosts of a rustic retreat, and their clientele of bookish and perhaps slightly confused storytellers. No one will forget the romantic (even shocking) story of how the brothers were conceived, nor their motley inheritance — a big house on a small island, a huge library, an aged, cussing parrot, and a dozen musical eggcups. The winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast is narrated by the man who knows the place best: writer, broadcaster, and raconteur Bill Richardson. He first entertained listeners about the goings-on of Hector and Virgil on CBC Radio. Then he transformed his sketches into an international best-seller, and now they tickle the ear again. |

One morning she finds a letter wedged between the stones from the young fairy princess Nootsie Tah.
