From broken youth to healing seniors, from love lost to relationships found, these stories explore the complicated and uncomfortable while embracing the incredible diversity found in humankind. This dynamic collection touches on cultural distinctions, the LGBTQ+ community, immigration, Indigenous peoples, and the marginalized aspects of society, opening our hearts to what's lost or yet to be found.Written with style and elegance, this collection of short stories and flash fiction takes you on a journey of discovery. Set against the stark realism of the vast Canadian landscape, each piece highlights life's compelling moments in the most poignant ways."A few writers do menace well. An occasional few do menace exceptionally well. Anita Dolman is one of the latter. Why she is so good at it lies not so much in what happens in her stories as in what doesn't: a nurse communicates telepathically to comatose patients without anyone else's knowing, a girl talks to a house that has witnessed the unspeakable, an elderly couple silently plan a murder that is never outwardly discussed. The silence gathers and the dread grows.Dolman's is a distinctive voice, and one with enough chill to fill a Stephen King mini-series. But beware: this slim volume will have you looking warily over your shoulder for some time to come."Jeffrey Round, Lambda Award winner, author of the Dan Sharp mystery series
