For nine-year-old Flora Smallwood, Rosetown, Indiana, is full of surprises, many of the best of which happen at the Wing and a Chair Used Book Shop, where she loves to read vintage children’s books after school in the faded purple chair by the window. But lately, those surprises haven’t been so good. Her dear old dog, Laurence, recently passed away. Not long after, her parents decided to take a breather from their marriage, and now Flora has to move back and forth between their two houses. Plus, she’s just begun fourth grade, and it is so much different than third. Luckily Flora has two wonderful friends—one old and one new. And with them around to share thoughts and laughs and adventures big and small, life in Rosetown still has many sweet moments—and even some very happy surprises!

From the party's beginnings in the Territories through its convulsive 1929 campaign and first victory that year under J.T.M. Anderson to its shadowy dissolution nearly 70 years later, the Saskatchewan Conservative Party struggles for relevance and survival. After their 1929 win, Conservatives waited half a century to form their next government, when they won the 1982 election under Grant Devine -- only to be "mothballed" 15 years later as the new Saskatchewan Party emerged to carry the right-wing banner in the province.

Saskatchewan is hockey. The only activity more pervasive is farming, and often the two are combined when farmers play hockey for their community teams. As Calvin Daniels discovered when researching and writing the first Guts and Go (2004), hockey is so intertwined with everyday life in this province that hockey stories are much more than the retelling of games and tournaments. Indeed, they are every bit as much about the people and the province as they are about the game. It all adds up to some pretty entertaining stories, not only of the well-known stars who ply their skills in pro leagues, but also the local players and teams who bring excitement and pride to communities across the province. Whether it's a great event like the Moosomin Moose playing marathon hockey to set a Guinness World Record and raise money for a new town hospital or the exciting play of Shaunavon's Rhett Warrener of the Calgary Flames, readers will discover that Guts and Go Overtime is written for anyone, young or old, who enjoys hockey and good stories, regardless of where they live.

With her Jewish heritage forced into secrecy, Evelyn Sherwood lives a life of anger, bitterness and guilt behind an emotional fortress too thick for human intervention. A widow with a teenaged daughter, Evelyn has resigned herself to a self-inflicted isolation leaving her vulnerable to the sinister voice of the enemy who constantly reinforces her regret and shame. Having repeatedly rejected the prompting of her late husband to turn to the One who could provide the same peace he had found, Evelyn is now forced to live her life knowing it is too late to tell her husband her buried secrets and her reasons for rejecting his God. Come Find Me is a compelling story typifying the lives of those who, like Evelyn, may be struggling with a life void of hope and peace. As the events in Evelyn Sherwood's life unravel, readers are left wondering if they would have done things differently. Would they have been stronger? Would they have dealt with the truth sooner? Perhaps they may even wonder what could be holding them back from enjoying the life of abundance and joy God intends for them to live.
