The final spire : 'Mystery Mountain' mania in the 1930s / by Hughes, Trevor Marc,1972-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In 1934, four mountaineers from Manitoba piled into their Plymouth and pointed its headlights west to Tatlayoko Lake in British Columbia. Their goal? To conquer B.C.'s tallest mountain. These young adventurers were following in the footsteps of the courageous, sometimes tragic, attempts made by other climbers to summit "Mystery Mountain." But one tantalizing challenge remained: the main tower. This central spire was a nightmarish image for any climber; a sheer column of barren rock encased in ice. But the irresistible allure of "Mystery Mountain" electrified the public and the race was on"--

After turning the case over to her exasperated husband, Inspector Darling, Lane enlists as substitute teacher for the final two weeks before the Christmas holidays. During her brief tenure at the school Lane discovers a threatening note in the teachers' desk and a revolver in the supply cupboard. But these clues only convolute the case further. Who has been tormenting these women? Meanwhile, Darling finds the body of a hit-and-run victim in a snowbank miles outside of Nelson, and Sergeant Ames is as confused as ever by the inimitable Tina Van Eyck."--Back cover.

Becoming a matriarch : a memoir / by Knott, Helen,1987-author.;
"When matriarchs begin to disappear, there is a choice to either step into the places they left behind, or to craft a new space. Helen Knott's debut memoir, In My Own Moccasins, wowed reviewers, award juries, and readers alike with its profoundly honest and moving account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, resilience, and survival. Now, in her highly anticipated second book, Knott returns with a chronicle of grief, love, and legacy. Having lost both her mom and grandmother in just over six months, forced to navigate the fine lines between matriarchy, martyrdom, and codependency, Knott realizes she must let go, not just of the women who raised her, but of the woman she thought she was. Woven into the pages are themes of mourning, sobriety through loss, and generational dreaming. Becoming a Matriarch is charted with poetic insights, sass, humour, and heart, taking the reader over the rivers and mountains of Dane Zaa territory in Northeastern British Columbia, along the cobbled streets of Antigua, Guatemala, and straight to the heart of what matriarchy truly means. This is a journey through pain, on the way to becoming."--
