- Library for the war-wounded : a novel / by Helfer, Monika,1947-author.; Davidson, Gillian,translator.; translation of:Helfer, Monika,1947-Vati.English.;
"Inspired by the author's family history, Library for the War-Wounded transports readers to the aftermath of World War II, uncovering the life of Helfer's father, Josef. Born with the stigma of illegitimacy, he found solace in books, and his education was eventually funded by the Catholic Church. Drafted into the Wehrmacht, he witnessed the horrors of the Eastern Front and returned from the war an amputee. He married his nurse and brought his family to the high, idyllic slopes of the Austrian Alps, where he took a position as manager of a convalescent home for war-wounded. Josef was a man of many mysteries. To his daughter Monika, none was greater than his obsession with the home's unlikely and remarkable library, his great treasure and comfort as the country barrels away from the memory of war. He will stop at nothing to save it-even when it tears apart his family."--- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Domestic fiction.; Novels.; Families; Libraries; Veterans; World War, 1939-1945;

- Terry & me : the inside story of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope / by Vigars, Bill,author.; Harvey, Ian(Ghost writer),author.;
"There has never been a Canadian quite like Terry Fox and there's never been a story quite like The Marathon of Hope. A twenty-two-year-old cancer survivor and amputee, Terry set out from St. John's Newfoundland in April 1980, aiming to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. His first months on the road in Atlantic Canada and Quebec were not only physically taxing--he ran the equivalent of a marathon a day--but frustrating as Canadians were slow to recognize and support his endeavor. That all changed when he met a young man named Bill Vigars, who on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society led a campaign to ensure that every person in Canada knew the story of this outstanding young man. Vigar was by Fox's side through all the highs and lows until the tragic end of his journey in Thunder Bay. A recurrence of his cancer cut short Terry's dream and, soon, his life. Now, for the first time, Vigar tells the inside story of the Marathon of Hope--the logistical nightmares, boardroom battles, and moments of pure magic--while giving us a fresh, insightful portrait of one of the greatest Canadians who ever lived."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Fox, Terry, 1958-1981.; Vigars, Bill.; Marathon of Hope (1980); Cancer; Marathon running; Runners (Sports);
