Morningstar Mercredi was born and lived in the north – Fort Chipewayan and Fort McMurray in Alberta, Uranium City in Saskatchewan, and a number of small communities. Sexually abused from an early age, by family members and the boyfriends she turned to for consolation, she was promiscuous, alcoholic and a drug user by the time she was thirteen. She married when she was sixteen and had a son two years later. Everything was a struggle. Days and weeks of sobriety were followed by weeks and months of drinking and self-­abuse. Then, when her son was four, things began to change. Morningstar found support, from the community, from her son, and from within herself, to be a good mother, find employment, keep relationships and reconnect with her family. Today, she is a strong and creative member of her community, and eager to tell her story of defeat and ultimate ­triumph. Sadly, the first part of this story is all too common, while the second is all too rare. But Morningstar is a shining example that it can be done. She is honest and ­self-­critical in her descriptions of many attempts and repeated failures. She gives enormous credit to her son, for his constant love, his determination to be honest with her, and his unfailing confidence in her ability to ­succeed.

When veterinarian Noah Taggert left his hometown, he always intended to come back. Helping out at his uncle’s horse ranch was supposed to be a temporary arrangement. Discovering the woman he loved had broken his heart made it permanent. If it wasn’t for his uncle’s dying wish, he wouldn’t be in Snowy Falls at all. Too bad no one told Noah his family was gone, forcing him to extend his stay until they return. To top it off, Everly—the one woman he’s determined to avoid—is Grandma Annie’s live-in tenant. Elementary school librarian Everly Jensen has a job she loves, a dog she adores, and the best landlord who lets her work in exchange for rent while she saves to buy a house. Helping Annie prep for the Taggert family Christmas over her holiday break should be a piece a cake. Until Noah walks back into her life.

Now they’re stuck together in the same house until the rest of the Taggert clan returns home, at the mercy of Grandma Annie’s to-do list.

Universally respected for his tough, but caring managerial style, Ferguson is an unusually intelligent man with a fascinating life story. Covering his tough Govan upbringing through to his playing days and onto his shift into management, Managing My Life is told with the fine balance of biting controversy and human sensitivity which made it such an unprecedented success in hardback. Alex Ferguson is a legend in his lifetime.
