Violence is a male biological trait. When women fight, no one gets seriously hurt. Lesbians don't abuse their spouses. The truth revealed in Janice Ristock's groundbreaking book is that lesbian relationships sometimes do turn violent. Based on interviews with more than one hundred lesbians who have suffered abuse and seventy-five case workers, No More Secrets is the first in-depth account of this startling phenomenon. Although one in four gay and lesbian couples are affected by domestic violence, the problem has remained hidden for several reasons. By giving voice to the victims, Ristock helps women to address violence by breaking silences, sharing secrets, and naming the forms of abuse.
Anger, frustration, fear, worthlessness, determination, strength, resolve, and joy are feelings we experience at one point or another in our life. Many of these emotions are caused by traumatic events such as death and birth or abuse and success. Knowing that someone has endured and survived gives us hope. Sharing these experiences allows us to begin our own healing process and assist thousands of others with theirs. Within these pages are stories shared by everyday people. They shake us to the very core of our being, stirring up emotions we never knew existed within ourselves. These are genuine stories, telling the real truth about what people live through on a daily basis. If you feel like you are the only one going through your situation, realize that you are not. Someone else has suffered similarly. Have faith, trust in yourself, and believe you can do the impossible. If these people can survive, so can you!
The Hope and the Healing is a collection of poetry, from both named and anonymous authors, written by people who have experienced sexual violence and assault firsthand. These raw and true uncensored retellings are separated into two sections: Healing, which focuses on the trauma and pain of their experiences; and Hoping, which focuses on recovery and hope. The final section of the book is a resource and support bank for sexual violence survivors in Manitoba and across Canada. This poetry collection offers a reminder to survivors that they are not alone in anything they’ve felt or the trauma they've endured. There are others who have been through this painful healing process and are waiting for them with open arms. All profits from the sales of The Hope and the Healing are donated to non-profit organizations focused on sexual violence prevention and the support of survivors.

Manitoba has always been a province in the middle, geographically, economically, and culturally. Lacking Quebec’s cultural distinctiveness, Ontario’s traditional economic dominance, or Alberta’s combustible mix of prairie populism and oil wealth, Manitoba appears to blend into the background of the Canadian family portrait. But Manitoba has a distinct political culture, one that has been overlooked in contemporary political studies.Manitoba Politics and Government brings together the work of political scientists, historians, sociologists, economists, public servants, and journalists to present a comprehensive analysis of the province’s political life and its careful “mutual fund mo...

After many successful (or maybe just stressful) years in your career, you finally have the chance to say goodbye to the demands of work and retire. But, like it or not, work is often a central part of our adult lives and even identities. Rather than enjoying your hard-earned rest, you might find yourself asking . . . now what? Retirement doesn’t have to be intimidating, and planning for it doesn’t just need to involve your finances or picking up hobbies just so you can stay busy.
