Here, my new book of interconnected short stories, explores community: how we relate to one another, how the troubled layers of our past affects our present lives, the heartaches that define and defy us. It’s “an ode to place, love, and collective care,” according to Maggie Burton’s kind words. As a Newfoundlander and Labradorian, I am both fiercely protective and equally critical of my home. And so, many of the selections on this list are written by Newfoundland and Labrador authors.

The Erotics of Cutting Grass is one of our great giveaways running until the end of May. Check out our giveaways page for your chance to win and to take a look at everything else up for offer. *****What these books (listed in no particular order) have in common for me is that they all tell, with wonderful skill and insight, heartfelt stories of coping with difficult times. I love oral history—the view of History from so-called “ordinary” people’s perspective, not just the “famous” people.
