| Sub-title: Supernatural Adventures in Canadian Historic Houses |
| By (author): Ann McDougall |
| ISBN10-13: 1990160522 : 9781990160523 |
| Speaking to the dead is no simple matter. From fads to frauds, our attempts to connect with the supernatural shape our past and present. â Is this place haunted?â Staff at historic house museums are asked about ghosts on a daily basis, and these small museums strive to satisfy the publicâ s appetite for the occult with ghost walks, paranormal investigations, seance recreations and other supernatural programs. But what is it about historic spaces that sparks our interest in connecting with the other side? And how, exactly, does one speak to a spirit? In A Ghost in the Room, author Ann McDougall draws upon her decades of experience with historic houses across the county to share their tales of the supernatural and investigate our enduring desire to communicate with the dead. |

| Title: Blind Drunk |
| Sub-title: A Sober Look at Our Boozy Culture |
| By (author): Veronica Woodruff |
| ISBN10-13: 1990160468 : 9781990160462 |
| â Four drinks isnâ t a binge. Thatâ s après-ski on a Tuesday.â Alcohol has informed every phase of Veronica Woodruffâ s life. Growing up, her parentsâ addiction took the family from wealth and privilege to destitution and eventual homelessness. Bartending provided the income she needed to complete her education and start her career as a scientist; drinking brought friendship, romance, and adventure. Booze lubricated the gears of her professional and personal life for decades.Combining research with memoir, Veronica charts the evolution of drinking culture in North America, from the morality-based lens that led to Prohibition to the science-based approach that underlies todayâ s sober curious movement. |

| Title: Hangman |
| Sub-title: The True Story of Canada's First Official Executioner |
| By (author): Julie Burtinshaw |
| ISBN10-13: 199016014X : 9781990160141 |
| I can promise to do what is required with compassion and skill. There would be no dishonour in the job . . . In his youth, John Radcliff hanged pirates for Her Majestyâ s Royal Navy. When he arrives in Canada, he reinvents himself as Thomas Ratley, steward at Torontoâ s prestigious Sunnyside Boat Club, and as John Radclive, the countryâ s first official executioner. While his government salary ensures financial security, his rising social standing, and that of his family, derives from his position at a club with questionable ethics. The work of using science to bring Godâ s mercy to condemned criminals, which John considers honourable, is universally reviled. But dispensing mercy presumes that the condemned are guiltyâ if they are not, what does that make their hangman? |

| Title: Ice in Their Veins |
| Sub-title: Women's Relentless Pursuit of the Puck |
| By (author): Ian Kennedy Foreword by: Geraldine Heaney Afterword by: Sami Jo Small |
| ISBN10-13: 1990160425 : 9781990160424 |
| Hockey wasnâ t meant to include girls. Women attracted to the speed, finesse, and physicality of the game had to overcome condescending attitudes, lack of resources, legal barriers, and even sexual assault in their quest for legitimacy and ice time. For more than 150 years, their gender was questioned, monitored, hidden, disparaged, and trivialized. Even so, teams were formed and stars emerged. From the â Miracle Maidâ of the early 20th century to members of todayâ s Professional Womenâ s Hockey League, these are the stories of women who truly had ice in their veins. |

| Title: Imagined Truths |
| Sub-title: Myths from a Draft-Dodging Poet |
| By (author): Richard Lemm |
| ISBN10-13: 1990160069 : 9781990160066 |
| History is the story an individual or nation tells itself, in an ongoing process of reinvention, and that story is one of imagined truths. Richard Lemm grew up in 1950s Seattle, raised by alcoholic grandparents, with an absent mother and a fabled father who died shortly after he was born. To avoid the draft, he left the land of opportunity and moved to Canada in 1967. Now, more than fifty years later, he uses his poetâ s sensibility to examine his cultural heritage, including the optimism that characterized the early years of the â countercultureâ and the darker days that followed the murders of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Turning his lens inward, he focuses on what he believed to be true about his family and society at the time, how that perception has evolved. A rewarding mixture of personal recollection and social commentary, this is a story about growing up in a family and country you didnâ t choose and coming of age in the country and with the people you did. |
