| Title: A Reluctant Mother |
| By (author): Deirdre Simon Dore |
| ISBN10-13: 1553807103 : 9781553807100 |
| Honest, sometimes humorous and often tragic, Fridaâ s narrative tells a modern tale of a conflagration of deceit, adultery, regret and love. Frida, childless by choice, is an artist with a heartbreaking childhood history. When she agrees to allow her husbandâ s spurious daughter into their lives they are devastatingly changed forever. Frida tells her story while confined to a hospital bed where a very young lawyer relentlessly pushes for a recounting of events. Fridaâ s memory, though often faulty and sporadic, comes back to her in poignant scenes that she is forced to relive, each alarming act leading to yet another even more ill-advised. In Frida, Deirdre Simon Doreâ s evocative writing has created a difficult, blunt and vitally genuine â reluctant motherâ . A contemporary novel of a woman whose relationships are an exercise in hilarity and tragedy both. |

| Title: Have Bassoon, Will Travel |
| Sub-title: Memoir of an adventurous life in music |
| By (author): George Zukerman |
| ISBN10-13: 1553807138 : 9781553807131 |
| Through humorous anecdotes and compelling stories, trail-blazing George Zukerman recounts his life in music as concert bassoonist and impresario. George Zukerman, known as both the Pablo Casals and the Eddie Van Halen of the bassoon, describes how his worldwide touring kindled audience awareness of this unusual instrument and freed the bassoon from penal servitude in the back ranks of the symphony orchestra. As a touring musician, he chronicles relentlessly touring Canada: travelling by float plane, ski plane, freight boat, war canoe, snowmobile, and dogsled to remote communities; plugging coins into a roadside payphone to contact promoters and driving through prairie snowstorms to reach a venue on time. As an impresario, Zukermanâ s Overture Concerts, Remote Tours Canada inspired thousands of new listeners and musicians. His tales have been enjoyed on CBC radio, and this passionate memoir will give readers further pleasure and insight into an extraordinary life. |

| Title: The HBC Brigades |
| Sub-title: Culture, conflict and perilous journeys of the fur trade |
| By (author): Nancy Marguerite Anderson |
| ISBN10-13: 1553807014 : 9781553807018 |
| A lively recounting of the tough men and heroic but overworked packhorses who broke open B.C. to the big business of the 19th-century fur trade. ï"¿Facing a gruelling thousand-mile trail, the brigades of the Hudson Bay Company (HBC) pushed onward over mountains and through ferocious river crossings to reach the isolated fur-trading posts. But it wasnâ t just the landscape the brigades faced, as First Nations people struggled with the desire to resist, or assist, the fur companyâ s attempts to build their brigade trails over the Aboriginal trails that led between Indigenous communities, which surrounded the trading posts. Nancy Marguerite Anderson reveals how the devastating Cayuse War of 1847 forced the HBC men over a newly-explored overland trail to Fort Langley. The journey was a disaster-in-waiting. |
