Novie swore she’d never do two things in her lifetime: head up the family drug trade, or be some man’s baby momma. Unfortunately, when she meets Genesis Kane, things don’t go quite as she’d planned. Genesis is an attorney with a reputation for being a “piranha in pinstripes,” both in and out of the courtroom. With Novie’s mother bugging her to help the family or disappear, and her father on a mission to keep reaping land, cars, and more side chicks no matter the cost, Novie is feeling pressured. She makes the decision to dive into even crazier waters, aka the piranha’s bed. When Novie gets pregnant, she discovers too late that Genesis is not the man she thought he was. With nowhere to go but back home to the spoiled and petty mother she despises, the last thing she expects from her well-off ex is his blatant refusal to claim or take care of his child. As her list of “nevers” all but disappears right along with her career plans, she makes one vow: Genesis Kane will pay.

A beautiful, moving memoir of a boy’s coming of age, infused with a deep love of the land, from one of Canada’s most cherished and acclaimed writers. In Of This Earth, Rudy Wiebe gives vivid life again to the vanished world of Speedwell, Saskatchewan, an isolated, poplar-forested, mostly Mennonite community – and Rudy’s first home. Too young to do heavy work, Rudy witnessed a way of life that was soon to disappear. And we experience with him the hard labour of clearing the stony, silty bushland; the digging out of precious wells one bucket of dirt at a time; sorrow at the death of a beloved sister; the disorienting searches for grazing cattle in the vast wilderness sloughs and the sweet discovery of the power of reading. Rare personal photographs (reproduced throughout the book) and the fragile memories of those who are left give shape to the story of Mennonite immigrants building a life in Canada, the growth and decline of the small Speedwell community, the sway of religion, and a young boy’s growing love of the extreme beauty of the aspen forests – as well as how all these elements came to inform his destiny as a writer. A hymn to a lost place and a distant time, Of This Earth follows the best of memoirs in the tradition of Sharon Butala’s The Perfection of the Morning and W. G. Sebald’s Austerlitz. It is an evocation of the Canadian west that only a writer of Rudy Wiebe’s powers could summon.

Nobody tells the story of women out for revenge quite like Ni’chelle Genovese does. Follow Michelle, Honey, and Novie as they struggle to protect themselves and hit back at the people who have wronged them. Michelle has been broken down, restored, and at the hands of Honey, practically demolished. The woman that has emerged is hell bent on revenge, until an unexpected twist of destiny turns her world completely inside out. Honey is preoccupied with her re-emergence into the world, embracing her new life as the "Queen of Miami." The only thing that might destroy her faster than Michelle’s rage is her new Mafia family. She’s learning that all that glitters comes with hands attached to dimmer switches—and right now they’re itching to hit the off button. When the only options are bad and worse, Honey does the unthinkable and reaches into her past for a favor that might end up costing her more than the Family can even afford to pay. With her mother bugging her to help the family or disappear, and her father on a mission to keep reaping land, cars, and more side chicks no matter the cost, Novie is feeling pressured. She makes the decision to dive into even crazier waters, aka Genesis Kane’s bed. When she winds up pregnant by Genesis, she quickly learns that he is not who she thought he was. Now, with no choice but to return home to the family she despises, Novie sets her sights on making Genesis pay for his mistakes.
