Somewhere between North Dakota and Nunavut sits a curious land with a coastline patrolled by polar bears, highways lined with monuments to household produce and dinner plates drenched in a gluey condiment known as honey dill sauce. This is Manitoba, a province that has captured the imagination of… well, maybe dozens of people around the world. Manitoba is one of the newest places on Earth, carved by glaciers and shaped by meltwater. It’s one of the most Indigenous places on Earth, as all of its residents are beginning to comprehend and respect. But it’s also a vast and largely empty land that lacks a singular identity, partly because of its vastness and emptiness — but also because most of its population barricades itself within Winnipeg’s city limits. Stuck In The Middle 2 finds photographer Bryan Scott and journalist Bartley Kives venturing beyond the Perimeter Highway to explore the architecture, landscapes and waterways of a province they know and love but, like most Manitobans, will never truly understand. Winnipeg photographer BRYAN SCOTT has been documenting the city’s architecture and streetscapes since 2005. He works in advertising while making daily contributions to his photo website Winnipeg Love Hate. A collection of photos from the site was published in 2010 and his first collaboration with author Bartley Kives, Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, was published by <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Plains</strong> Publications in 2013. It won the Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award the following year. Journalist and author BARTLEY KIVES has been writing about politics, pop culture, politics, food and travel in Winnipeg since the 1990s. He worked as a reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press for 18 years and now works for CBC Manitoba. He is the author of A Daytripper’s Guide To Manitoba: Exploring Canada’s Undiscovered Province, a Canadian bestseller first published in 2006 and revised in 2015. Stuck in the Middle 2 is his second collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott, following up on Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg. 4

Foreword by Greg Boyle, S.J., founder of Homeboy Industries Stories of Hope, Resilience and Life after Gangs Anne Mahon Why do people join gangs? Once entrenched in a life of crime with its realities of incarceration, addiction, power, and money, is it possible to ever walk away? This triumphant collection of ten personal life stories from ex-gang members enlightens, surprises and inspires. These first-person accounts illuminate the harsh reality of living as a marginalized person, often neglected and in poverty. Unexpectedly, their stories share heartfelt commentary on topics such as peace, joy, forgiveness and hope. Readers will be challenged to question their preconceived notions as they are given an illuminating look at individual lives behind crime statistics. This book covers territory that often doesn’t get into the news media and creates connection through our shared humanity. ANNE MAHON is fascinated by people and their stories, focusing her writing on the marginalized. Her books are philanthropic efforts, with all author proceeds donated back to the communities each book represents. Her first book The Lucky Ones won the On The Same Page Manitoba Library Award. She is a committed 30- year volunteer, contributing her time to many local organizations. Anne lives in Winnipeg with her husband and three children. 5
