"River Child left me feeling awakened. I finished it in a weekend, and I'm still carrying the themes with me from over a month ago. I look at the river differently. I see everything differently."

From a mother with a son who is affected with FASD who is now an adult child
Crossroads is a courageous novel about the north country and addiction within the Yukon Territory, courageous since it takes us places where a lot of us seldom go.The spirit of the North is present in every page as well as the resilience and humanity of its people who, when they finally meet at the crossroads each faces, will be there for each other.

"I've just finished reading Summer Snow and found it riveting. Such an important story. Sad and hard, but so well-told."

I enjoyed Journeys Outside and In very much. The whole first part made me laugh out loud, and it was both entertaining and interesting. The last chapter about Lupin was wonderful. It touched me so deeply, remembering some of the pets that have been in my life.

I was very taken by Summer Snow and moved. It just reminded me of so many individuals I worked with and those family members.

The main characters of River Child, Dave, Eliza, and Selena, are capably portrayed as people worth caring for. I was both eager and afraid to turn the page. The heartbreaking series of events that essentially ruined Eliza’s chances of a normal life were skillfully presented in an unbiased and unflinching manner. Eliza’s brutal residential school experiences and the choices she made subsequently, helped me to understand how so many families were horribly affected and how future generations continue to suffer.
River Child stayed with me in my thoughts for a considerable time, which to me, is the highest praise I can give for any work of art.
