Leaving Wisdom / by Butala, Sharon,1940-author.;
"Leaving Wisdom begins with the wrong kind of bang when retiring social worker Judith falls on the way to her retirement party. Her ears still ringing and her strength compromised by a shaky recovery, Judith moves back to the town of Wisdom, Saskatchewan, near the farm where she grew up. There she confronts many unanswered questions: Why was her father, a World War Two veteran, so troubled? What are her brother and sister hiding from her? And more immediately, is a serious crime unfolding in the house next door? Small town bigotry and shady goings-on make Judith's search for answers even more bewildering. As she attempts to untangle the mysteries that ensare her at every turn, more complicated and wider ranging questions arise as she uncovers the truth about her damaged father. This thought-provoking and very readable tale depicts the suffering that comes from family secrets, and one woman's late-life awakening to the complex shadows cast by World War Two and the Holocaust."--Back cover.

Now that they've made some updates to their cabin in the woods, they're turning to the family hardware store that Tess inherited and converting it into the town's first independent bookstore. But when renovations unearth bones from a cold case and send them toppling-literally-onto Tess's head, the work comes to a grinding halt.

Pieces of her : a novel / by Slaughter, Karin,1971-author.;
"Andrea knows everything about her mother, Laura. She knows she's spent her whole life in the small beachside town of Belle Isle; she knows she's' never wanted anything more than to live a quiet life as a pillar of the community; she knows she's never kept a secret in her life. Because we all know our mothers, don't we? But all that changes when a trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she's been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one would ever find her. But now she's been exposed, and nothing will ever be the same again. The police want answers and Laura's innocence is on the line, but she won't speak to anyone, including her own daughter. Andrea is on a desperate journey following the breadcrumb trail of her mother's past. And if she can't uncover the secrets hidden there, there may be no future for either one of them"--
