Forever Terry : a legacy in letters / by Fox, Darrell,1963-compiler.;
"Terry Fox defined perseverance and hope for a generation of Canadians. Forever Terry reflects what Terry's legacy means to us now, and in the future. 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope. Celebrities (both from Canada and beyond) regularly ask the Terry Fox Foundation what they can do to support Terry's cause and legacy. The answer: write a short piece telling readers what Terry Fox means to them. A memory. A moment of inspiration. A glimpse of hope to a patient. A jolt of strength. Or even a moment of sympathy. Forever Terry is a collection of 40 personal letters from 40 prominent celebrities displaying what Terry Fox means to them, and gives voice to an icon whose example spoke much louder than his words. The list of contributors includes Bobby Orr, Margaret Atwood, Catriona Le May Doan, Gordon Lightfoot, Douglas Coupland, and many more.".

Dear Santa [text (large print)] : a novel / by Macomber, Debbie,author.;
Lindy Carmichael isn't feeling particularly joyful when she returns home to Wenatchee, Washington, for Christmas. The man she thought was 'the one' has cheated on her with her best friend and she feels completely devoid of creativity in her graphic-design job. Not even carollers or Christmas cookies can cheer her up - but Lindy's mother, Ellen, remembers an old tradition that might lift her daughter's spirits. Reading through a box of childhood letters to Santa and reminiscing about what she'd wished for as a young girl may be just the inspiration Lindy needs. With Ellen's encouragement, she decides to write a new letter to Santa, one that will encourage her to have faith and believe just as she'd done all those years ago. Little does Lindy know that this exercise in gratitude will cause her wishes to unfold before her in miraculous ways. And, thanks to some fateful twists of Christmas magic - especially an unexpected connection with a handsome former classmate - Lindy ultimately realises that there is truly no place like home for the holidays. In Dear Santa, Debbie Macomber celebrates the joys of Christmas blessings, old and new.
