The School Bus Doesn't Stop Here Anymore
Welcome to Noreen Olson's kitchen table, where everything happens. She loves birds, animals, family, children, friends, growing things and life on the farm, and writes about them and all the odd situations they manage to get into with engaging liveliness. Many of the pieces are humorous, but more than that, they are heartwarming and true. In them you will see reflections of your own loves, life, guilt, laughter, nostalgia, memories and beliefs. All of the animals, people and incidents are real (though Noreen admits that she is prone to the occasional slight exaggeration) and names have been changed for "her own protection". The titles of the short tales say it all: Saving the Preemie Calf, My Career As an Egg Grader, Lament for a Lousy Garden, Kitchen Archaeology, Embarrassing the Kids, The Lawn Ornament Vendetta and One More Way to Ruin a Party. Noreen Olson has been writing these true tales in her biweekly column for more than twenty-three years, and collected them in six books. These stories are the best of the best, together with newly written introductions to thematic groupings, and an introduction by Will Ferguson.
Late Harvest (LP)
Late Harvest probes the complicated designs and tangled webs of families and friendships that cross three generations in the 1940s. Hanna has survived much over the years, but now faces the greatest challenge to her wedding vows to Gustave. In sickness and in health has never seemed so poignant . . . Brigetta lived with a lie for years, but is suddenly forced to admit that gone-but-never-forgotten secret could soon undermine all she holds dear . . . Sanna, in escaping heartache, makes a choice that alienates her father when she enrolls at the Kahler School of Nursing in Rochester, Minnesota, as a member of the US Cadet Nurse Corp. Perceptive, believable, and compassionate with humor blending it into an unforgettable story, Late Harvest is all readers have come to expect from a Hadley Hoover novel. Welcome home to the warmth and surprises!

Love and Kisses Paul Hiebert
Believing that “literary icons don't answer letters from ordinary people,” Noreen Olson nonetheless contacted iconic Canadian writer and humourist Paul Hiebert after reading his book Sarah Binks. To her surprise, Hiebert wrote back. Thus began a rich correspondence between two kindred spirits that ended only with Hiebert’s death in 1987. Love and Kisses, Paul Hiebert charts this correspondence, covering a vast array of subjects: from chickens to religion, literature to ageing. Letters reveal Hiebert’s philosophical and spiritual concerns, his wry sense of humour, and his strong belief in love—as well as revealing the rare friendship between Hiebert and Olson. Often amusing and uplifting, it also describes the demands of living on an Alberta farm through Olson’s letters and extracts from her columns that she often included with them. Love and Kisses, Paul Hiebert will appeal to those familiar with Hiebert’s work, those who enjoy insightful and often humorous memoirs, and those who appreciate family and spiritual values. To quote Paul Hiebert, "Only Love Endures."
