Everything is not enough : a novel / by Akinmade-Akerström, Lola,author.;

"Can a career woman truly have it all? Powerful marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi has finally found the man she needs, but Tobias Wikström thinks she's the most selfish woman he has ever met for asking him to give up his life in Sweden and move to the US for her own comfort. Will Kemi be forced to stay, chipping away at her hard-earned career, if she wants to keep him? As things begin to sour and Kemi faces challenges in her relationship with Tobias, someone else moves back into the picture. Can having it all be a gilded cage? Looking into divorce in Sweden isn't what former model-turned-flight-attendant Brittany-Rae von Lundin anticipated. Only jointly owned assets are split evenly between couples. Brittany gave up her career and went with nothing into Jonny's kingdom. Having had a child with him, Brittany fears their daughter, Maya, will be cut off from the resources she's become accustomed to. Trying to get away from a man obsessed with a ghost isn't going to be easy. And the deeper she digs into his past, the darker the secrets she unravels. Can you run from your past to have it all? After fleeing her home with the help of a client to seek a new life in Sweden, Yasmiin carves out her own small corner of the world, finding love in the arms of Yagiz Çelik. But when someone from her past forces Yasmiin to become a caretaker before she's ready, she now must confront and move beyond her teenage history, all while pursuing her dreams of becoming a makeup artist. Follow the loosely intertwined and messy lives of Kemi, Brittany, and Yasmiin as they interrogate themes of place, prejudice, and patriarchy in Europe. Lọlá Ákínmádé Åkerström proves, yet again, that she is the next great voice of nuanced contemporary women's fiction."--Jacket flap.

Painted worlds : the art of Maud Lewis, a critical perspective / by Dalton, Laurie,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.A full-colour, narrative and illustrated critical art history of the works of iconic Nova Scotia artist Maud Lewis. "Rather than thinking of Maud Lewis as an artist who was untrained, unskilled, and worked in total isolation, we ought to reframe her as an artist who, through her observation of landscape and culture, created composite images of what inspired her." Upon seeing the title of this work, you could be forgiven for asking, "Another book about Maud Lewis? Is there anything left to say, or is this just one more voice laying claim to her story and legacy?" After all, Lewis's work has been marketed and co-opted as part of the larger folk identity in Nova Scotia for decades. But something has been missing from that discourse all these years. In Painted Worlds, Dalton explores what always seems to be lacking in the storytelling and mythmaking surrounding Maud Lewis: she situates Lewis's work within a wider context of art history. Discussions of technique, intent, and colour theory permeate these pages. Instead of reducing Lewis to her cute black cats and whimsical rural scenes, Dalton takes us on a deep dive of the artist's oeuvre, through the lens of critical art history inquiry. That is, Dalton does not simply regard the paintings as ethnographic objects of rural Nova Scotia, but as serious works of art to be carefully examined. The result is a rigorous analysis that grants Lewis's work--and thus, her legacy--the dignity and respect it so deserves.

In the light of dawn : the history and legacy of a Black Canadian community / by Carter, Marie,1953-author.; Cooper, Afua,writer of foreword.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Illuminating two hundred years of lost Black history through the lens of an iconic abolitionist settlement. In the Light of Dawn shares the compelling story of how the iconic Dawn Settlement -- now largely within the boundaries of Dresden, Ontario -- shaped (and was shaped by) a broader course of international events along a 200-year continuum of resistance and contribution. Using a geographic approach, the book reveals that the town's size, scope, and importance eclipses its previous narrow interpretations as a "failed" utopian colony at a terminus of the Underground Railroad led by the Reverend Josiah Henson (the "real Uncle Tom" of Harriet Beecher Stowe's landmark anti-slavery novel). Beyond Henson, Dawn's history contains familiar figures like Frederick Douglass and Rosa Parks as well as a pantheon of lesser known but equally important Black leaders including Dennis Hill, William Whipper, William Carter, and Hugh Burnett. The trajectories of Dawn's residents often intersect with pivotal international events from the time of the fur trade to the modern Civil Rights movement. Activism from 19th-century Pennsylvania's Black Elite and other major American centres run like a golden thread through successive generations in Dawn, resulting in landmark actions such as the challenge to segregation of private businesses and publicly funded schools. Dawn's people not only resisted slavery and oppression but also made successful and lasting contributions to the growth of local communities and wider society. Far from being a failed colony, the Dawn Settlement emerges as a vibrant community of racial and economic diversity, where people of agency and ability influenced wider societal change. In the Light of Dawn presents an expansive yet nuanced account of a small rural town that challenges traditional notions of Black History and the contributions of early Black pioneers, leaving behind an enduring legacy. Marie Carter is a lifelong resident of Dresden, Ontario, where she researches and writes about the history of her community, the former Dawn Settlement area. Her eclectic career has included graphic artist, reporter-photographer for community newspapers and church press, and rural organizer of outreach to migrant agricultural workers"--
