Overdose : Heartbreak and Hope in Canada's Opioid Crisis
by Benjamin Perrin
A powerful look at the worst epidemic in a generation--the opioid crisis. North America is in the middle of a health emergency. Life expectancies are declining. Someone is dying every two hours in Canada from illicit drug overdose. Fentanyl has become a looming presence--an opioid more powerful, pervasive, and deadly than any previous street drug. The victims are many--and often not whom we might expect. They include the poor and forgotten but also our neighbours: professionals, students, and parents. Despite the thousands of deaths, these victims have remained largely invisible.

The Wild Heavens by Sarah Louise ButlerIt all starts with an impossibly large set of tracks, footprints for a creature that could not possibly exist. The words sasquatch, bigfoot and yeti never occur in this novel, but that is what most people would call the hairy, nine-foot creature that would become a lifelong obsession for Aidan Fitzpatrick, and in turn, his granddaughter Sandy Kingsly. The novel spans the course of single winter day, interspersed with memories from Sandy's life. Childhood days spent with her distracted, scholarly grandfather in a remote cabin in British Columbia, interior mountains.
