Friday Water
Author: Linda Rogers
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
It's the night before Ariel's chemotherapy — her Friday Water — and a man is shot outside her house. The Angel of Death is surely circling, she believes; the next to die will likely be her. It isn't self-pity that motivates Ariel's morbid thoughts. Her husband, Barin, is in jail in Cuba (a Canadian documentary filmmaker caught filming the wrong story line). Her beloved older sister, Veronica, has gone to see if she can pull strings and extricate her brother-in-law. And her daughter, Rumer, is full of adolescent angst, having just menstruated for the first time. The house in which Ariel lives is a legacy from her grandparents. Its rooms — "Little Italy," "Swan Lake," and others — are filled with memories and smells that Ariel recognizes as she moves from space to space, lying down, sleeping, preparing a meal, waiting for the return of her husband, her sister, her health. Friday Water is a novel that quietly celebrates a woman's life, even from the depths of breast cancer and loneliness. The characters — particularly Ariel and her sister Veronica — become family any reader would wish to know and hold.

From Where I Stand
Author: Jody Wilson-Raybould
Publisher: Purich Books
ISBN: 0774880554
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
An Indigenous leader who has dedicated her life to Indigenous Rights, Jody Wilson-Raybould has represented both First Nations and the Crown at the highest levels. And she is not afraid to give Canadians what they need most – straight talk on what has to be done to collectively move beyond our colonial legacy and achieve true reconciliation in Canada. In this powerful book, drawn from speeches and other writings, she urges all Canadians – both Indigenous and non-Indigenous – to build upon the momentum already gained in the reconciliation process or risk hard-won progress being lost. The good news is that Indigenous Nations already have the solutions. But now is the time to act and build a shared postcolonial future based on the foundations of trust, cooperation, recognition, and good governance. Frank and impassioned, From Where I Stand charts a course forward – one that will not only empower Indigenous Peoples but strengthen the well-being of Canada and all Canadians.
