Jennie's boy : a Newfoundland childhood / by Johnston, Wayne,author.;
"Consummate storyteller and bestselling novelist Wayne Johnston reaches back into his past to bring us a sad, tender and at times extremely funny memoir of a Newfoundland boyhood few thought he would survive, including him. For six months between 1966 and 1967, Wayne Johnston and his family lived in a wreck of a house across from his grandparents in Goulds, Newfoundland, which was not so much a place as a scattering of houses along an unpaved road. At seven, Wayne was sickly and skinny, unable to keep food down, unable to sleep, plagued with a relentless cough that no doctor could diagnose, though they had already removed his tonsils, adenoids and appendix. Heart murmur, pleurisy, a tapeworm? All were suspected, and none confirmed. To the community he was known as "Jennie's boy," and his tiny, ferocious mother felt judged for Wayne's condition at the same time as worried he might not grow up to be his own man. While his brothers went off to school, and his parents to work, trying to stave off the next eviction, Wayne spent his days with his witty, religious, deeply eccentric maternal grandmother, Lucy, who kept a statue of the Blessed Virgin in one of her bedrooms along with a photo of her son Leonard, who had died at seven. During these six months of Wayne's childhood, he and Lucy faced two life-or-death crises, and only one of them lived to tell the tale. Jennie's Boy is Wayne's tribute to a family and a community that were simultaneously fiercely protective of him and fed up with having to make allowances for him: grandparents, parents and siblings, aunts and uncles, and the people of the Goulds, whose pet and nuisance he was. He recalls a boyhood full of pain, yes, but also laughter, tenderness, and the kind of wit that is peculiar to Newfoundlanders. By that wit, and by their love for each other--so often expressed in the most unloving ways--he, and they, survived."--

The diabolical bones / by Ellis, Bella,author.;
"Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Brontë thought their detecting days were behind them, but a terrifying new discovery draws them into a devlish new mystery. Haworth Parsonage, February 1846: It's been six months since the case of the vanished bride, and the Brontë sisters- Anne, Emily, and Charlotte-have received a steady dribble of inquiries made to Bell Brothers and Company solicitors, but nothing to really thrill them. Having found a publisher for their poems, they turn their attention toward writing a full-length novel, deciding to put their covert careers as detectors behind them. But on a bitterly cold February evening their housekeeper Tabby tells them of a grim discovery at Scar Top House, an old farmhouse belonging to the Bradshaw family, positionedat the very top of the moor. The old home is being enlarged to meet the newly enriched family's elevated status and a set of bones has been found bricked up in a chimney breast. Tabby says it's bad doings, and dark omens for all of them. The rattled housekeeper gives them a warning, telling the sisters of a chilling rumour attached to the family. The villagers believe that, on the verge of bankruptcy, Clifton Bradshaw sold his soul to the devil in return for great riches. Does this have anything to do with the bones found in the Bradshaw house? Anne, Emily, and Charlotte soon learn that true evil has set a murderous trap and they've been lured right into it"--

The snag : a mother, a forest, and wild grief / by McWatt, Tessa,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Tessa McWatt, takes on personal and collective grief, and the solace and inspiration to be found in connecting with nature ... and each other. Every day, we hear about and experience griefs, large and small, in our families, friendships, communities, and worldwide. The grief of a loved one passing. The grief of a way of life ceasing to exist. The grief of global pandemic, war, climate collapse. As her mother's dementia advances and she can no longer live independently, Tessa McWatt confronts griefs personal and political, and finds herself wandering in a forest asking, how do we grieve? And what can we learn from nature and those whose communities are rooted in nature about not only how to grieve but also how to live? From the newest seedling, to the oldest snag in the forest, there is meaning to be found in every stage of a tree's life, all of which contribute to a thriving forest community. In this forest thinking, Tessa begins to find answers to her questions about how to live (for each other), how to grieve (radically), and how to die (with love and connection). The Snag is an essential book about living and dancing and singing and praying, even in the face of unimaginable sadness, and in this way, growing together and supporting one another, like the trees in the forest."-- Provided by publisher.
