Small Structures of Nova Scotia
Small structures are heralded as the new minimalist way of living. They have, however, always existed, reflecting the necessity for a simple space built for a particular function: tiny homes, cabins, forestry camps, fishing shacks, treehouses, and places of art, worship, or healing. In Nova Scotia, our history, culture, and landscape are reflected in these small spaces, which can be found in every region of the province. Author and photographer Jessie Hannah is fascinated by these compact structures?rural and urban, residential and commercial, historic and contemporary. Who built them, and why? What purpose do they serve? How were they constructed? This photographic collection documents her journey to discover the answers to these questions and more. Through interviews, research, and a bit of intrepid bushwhacking, Hannah shares stories from some of Nova Scotia?s unique small structures, and shows how their tales tie together community, industry, craft, and culture.
No Girls Allowed
“A compelling novel based on the true story of 10-year-old Tina Forbes, who in 1977, fought for her right to play on an all-boys hockey team.” —The Globe and Mail It’s 1977, and 10-year-old Tina couldn’t be happier about her life.

But when she tries to join the league, she learns that girls aren’t allowed to play on the boys’ team—and there’s no team for girls.

Senior Moment
Monica Graham got her first inkling that her eighty-nine-year-old mother might not be able to continue living on her own when she coated chicken breasts with dishwashing liquid for dinner. It was an easy mistake--the yellow detergent lived right beside the olive oil on the kitchen counter. Graham could easily have done the same thing herself, she thought. But as her visit with her mom in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, progressed, Graham--who lives in Pictou, Nova Scotia--began to recognize that her mother had been successfully hiding increasingly apparent signs that her memory was failing; she wasn't getting by as well as she had been letting on. So began the arduous process of finding and securing a safe place for her mother to live--and of clearing out several decades' worth of belongings. Part memoir, part cautionary tale, part how-to guide, Senior Moment offers insight and practical guidance for Atlantic Canadians on how to usher a loved one into the world of continuing care. With wit, wisdom, and a dose of whimsy, author Monica Graham explores the inevitable hurdles of caring for our elders.

Memories on the Bounty
In 1960, Roy Boutilier and twenty-four fellow Nova Scotians set sail for Tahiti aboard the newly built replica sailing ship Bounty. The ship stayed in Tahiti for almost a year while MGM Studios filmed the epic historical drama Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Marlon Brando. Roy's year on Bounty and his experiences in Tahiti are themselves the stuff of movies. But it took a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease for Roy and his long-time friend, Janet Sanford, to realize that a fascinating story would be lost if someone didn't capture those memories. And so began a series of Monday-morning meetings as Roy and the author embarked on a race against time. Memories on the Bounty goes far beyond re-telling Roy's story; it explores the boundaries of memory, the challenges of storytelling, the pain of saying goodbye, and the enduring bonds of friendship. With dozens of never-before-seen photos from Bounty's maiden voyage and her time in Tahiti, Memories on the Bounty is a touching story of adventure, love, and loss.
