HERBERT HAS LOTS FOR A BUCK
MCLACHLIN, ELIZABETH
Canada in the twenty-first century is a place of growth and expansion. Cities like Vancouver and Toronto have
become word class destinations for business and tourism. Meanwhile, smaller, less prominent communities face
changes of different sorts, as residents depart for the opportunities present in our country’s largest cities.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in Canada’s prairie provinces. Despite changes in population and the loss of
such essential services as schools, post offices, and grain elevators, many of Canada’s oldest prairie
communities—communities like Craik and Meacham in Saskatchewan, and Vulcan in Alberta—have defied the
odds, facing death only to rise again.

HIDDEN LIVES: COMING OUT ON MENTAL ILLNESS
ROWNTREE, LENORE
In this groundbreaking collection, well-known and cutting-edge authors bring to light life with mental illness.
These evocative essays, by writers who either suffer from or have close family members diagnosed with mental
illness or a developmental disorder, aim to break down the stigma that surrounds one of the most devastating of
human tribulations. The writers recount their experiences with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, clinical depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dissociative identity
disorder. What does it feel like to be psychotic? What sorts of thoughts go through your mind while you are killing
yourself? How does a mother go on after her schizophrenic son throws himself into an unfinished construction
site? The anthology drills to the core of compassion and disappointment—transcending hope and sometimes
finding beauty in insanity.
