Delphine Jones takes a chance / by Morrey, Beth,author.;
"Devoted single mother Delphine Jones is an expert at putting her head down and moving through life one day at a time. Since getting pregnant at sixteen, her circle has only ever included her now eleven-year-old daughter and best friend, Em, and her complicated father whom they live with. But when an opportunity for her to finish school presents itself, Delphine finally does something she hasn't done in years: she takes a chance on herself. Sometimes all it takes is one chance. As Delphine rediscovers her passions and her belief in herself, her circle expands to include an Oscar-winning actress turned teacher, an Eritrean couple running a local café-cum-jazz club, an elderly French widow looking to converse, and a handsome musician who awakens something in Delphine that she thought had been long buried. But as Delphine's eyes and heart start to open, she must also face questions she's stonewalled for more than a decade, questions about Em's father. Is she brave enough?"--

Invisible prisons : Jack Whalen's tireless fight for justice / by Moore, Lisa,1964-author.; Whalen, Jack(Jack William),author.;
"Riveting nonfiction from multi-award-winning author Lisa Moore, based on the shocking true story of a teenaged boy who endured abuse and solitary confinement at a reform school in Newfoundland, but survived through grit and redemptive love. An exposé in the vein of Unholy Orders, written in the style of Linden MacIntyre's In the Wake. Invisible Prisons is an extraordinary, empathetic collaboration between the magnificent writer Lisa Moore, best-known for her award-winning fiction, and a man named Jack Whalen, who as a child was held for four years at a reform school for boys in St John's, where he suffered jaw-dropping abuses and deprivations. Despite the odds stacked against him, he found love on the other side, and managed to turn his life around as a husband and father. His daughter, Brittany, vowed at a young age to become a lawyer so that she could seek justice for him. Today, that is exactly what she is doing -- and Jack's case forms part of a class action lawsuit currently before the courts. The story has obvious parallels with Unholy Orders by Michael Harris about the Mount Cashel orphanage, and the series "The Boys of St Vincent," as well as the film Spotlight, and the many horrific stories coming out about residential schools -- all of which expose a paternalistic state causing harm and looking away. Yet two powerful qualities set this story apart. As much as it is about an abusive system preying on children, it is also a tender tale of love between Jack and his wife Glennis, who saw the good man inside a damaged person and believed in him. And it is written in a novelistic way by the great Lisa Moore, who makes starkly and magically real every moment and character in these pages."--
