"Grady's novel reads with the velvety tempo of the jazz music of its day. . . . Grady fearlessly explores heated race relations and the masks we all assume." —Chatelaine With his curly black hair and his wicked grin, everyone swoons and thinks of Frank Sinatra when Navy musician Jackson Lewis takes the stage. It's World War II, and while stationed in St. John's, Newfoundland, Jack meets the well-heeled Vivian Clift, a local girl who has never stepped off the Rock and longs to see the world. They marry against Vivian's family's wishes—there's something about Jack that they just don't like—and as the war draws to a close, the couple travels to Windsor to meet Jack's family. But when Vivian meets Jack's mother and brother, everything she thought she knew about her husband gets called into question. They don't live in the dream home Jack depicted, they all look different from one another—different from anyone Vivian has ever seen--and after weeks of waiting to meet Jack's father, he never materializes. Steeped in jazz and big-band music, spanning pre- and post-war Windsor-Detroit, St. John's, Newfoundland, and 1950s Toronto, this is an arresting, heartwrenching novel about fathers and sons, love and sacrifice, race relations and a time in our history when the world was on the cusp of momentous change.

Capreol is - for better or worse - a railroad town. And since railroaders tend to be storytellers, Capreol is a town with a great many stories; true stories, made up stories, and combinations of the two. Sit around any of the town's restaurants or coffee shops and, sooner or later, the stories will start: tales of derailments and washouts, reminisces of co-workers' strange habits, yarns about the bosses' unceasing demands, and graphic retelling of pranks - ranging from the hilarious to the cruel. Some are told to appreciative laughs while others receive nothing but awed whispers or horrified silence.
