SUMMARY:Kate Hilton & Elizabeth Renzetti at Cedar Canoe Books
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an evening with not one\, but two amazing Canadian writers!  \nAbout Kate Hilaton \nKATE HILTON is the co-author (with Elizabeth Renzetti) of Bury the Lead\, the bestselling first novel in the Quill & Packet mystery series\, as well as the forthcoming Widows and Orphans (2025). She is also the author of the novels The Hole in the Middle\, Just Like Family\, and Better Luck Next Time. When not writing\, Kate maintains an active psychotherapy practice\, working with individuals and couples. She has a particular interest in personal reinvention and life transitions. Kate has had prior careers in law\, university administration\, publishing\, and major-gift fundraising. She lives with her family in Toronto. \nAbout Elizabeth Renzetti \nElizabeth Renzetti is a bestselling Canadian-British author and journalist. Until recently Elizabeth worked for the Globe and Mail\, where she wrote a popular opinion column and feature stories. She has lived in London\, Los Angeles\, and Berlin\, where she worked as a journalist for the Globe and Mail. In 2020 and 2023 she won the Landsberg Award for reporting on gender issues. \nElizabeth is the author of Shrewed: A Wry and Closely Observed Look at the Lives of Women and Girls\, which was a national bestseller. Her first novel\, Based on a True Story\, was shortlisted for the Kobo Emerging Writer Award. She also collaborates with authors on book projects. \nElizabeth is a teacher\, advocate\, and public speaker. She currently lives in Toronto with her husband\, two children\, and two very badly behaved cats. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nIn Port Ellis\, there’s no off-season for murder. \nJournalist Cat Conway is looking forward to an easy assignment covering a major wellness and self-actualization summit at the Pinerock Resort\, featuring Bliss Bondar and Bree Guthrie\, creators of the Welcome\, Goddess empire and widows with attitude. Cat’s mother\, Marian Conway\, bestselling author and defiantly mediocre parent\, is on the agenda—and so is murder. \nWhen one of the influencers turns up dead\, suspicion falls on the high-profile guests. Could the killer be a jealous business partner? Or the Instagram-famous poet? The empowerment guru whose wife hates him? Or Cat’s mother\, who has a reputation to protect and a shocking secret to hide? \nCat’s pulled into investigating another celebrity death\, but this time while facing the possible demise of her livelihood: The Quill & Packet is struggling financially\, and may be headed toward its final edition. A convoy of protesters\, angry at Cat’s reporting\, has besieged the Quill’s newsroom. Can Cat rescue her mother and her newspaper\, or will the killer stalking Port Ellis beat her to the deadline?

SUMMARY:An Evening With Claire Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for an evening with renowned author Claire Cameron as we discuss her new memoir ‘How to Survive a Bear Attack’. Cameron is the bestselling author of ‘The Bear’ and ‘The Last Neanderthal’. \nAbout the book \nIn this debut memoir from the bestselling author of The Bear and The Last Neanderthal\, Claire Cameron confronts the rare genetic mutation that gave her cancer by investigating an equally rare and terrifying event—a predatory bear attack. \nWhen Claire Cameron was nine years old\, her father\, a professor of Old English\, told her he was dying. In the years after he was gone\, she found a way to overcome her grief among the rivers and lakes of Algonquin Park\, a vast Canadian wilderness area. Around that same time\, in 1991\, a couple was killed by a black bear in a rare predatory attack in the park. Claire was shocked and\, never fully sure of what happened\, the attack haunted her. \nNow older\, with children of her own\, Cameron was diagnosed with the same kind of deadly skin cancer as her father. Caught in a second wave of grief\, she was told by her doctor\, “the ideal exposure to UV light is none.” No longer able to venture into the wilderness as she once had\, with long scars on her back\, she became obsessed with the bear attack in Algonquin Park again. How could terror rip through such a beautiful place? Could she separate truth from fiction? She headed north to investigate. \nSeamlessly weaving together nature writing with true crime investigation in this unflinching account of recovery\, How to Survive a Bear Attack is at once an intimate portrait of an extraordinary animal\, a bracing chronicle of pain\, obsession\, and love\, and a profoundly moving exploration of how we can understand and survive the wildness that lives inside us.

SUMMARY:A Talk With Elizabeth Renzetti
DESCRIPTION:A passionate advocate for gender equity\, and one of our most respected journalists\, explores the most pressing issues facing women in Canada today with humour and heart. \nThe fight for women’s rights was supposed to have been settled. Or\, to put it another way\, women were supposed to have settled—for what we were grudgingly given\, for the crumbs from the table that we had set. For thirty per cent of the seats in Canada’s Parliament; for five per cent of the CEO’s offices; for a tenth of the salary of male athletes; for the tiny per cent of sexual assault cases that result in convictions; for tenuous control over our health and bodies. “Aren’t we over it yet? No\, we’re not\,” Elizabeth Renzetti writes. \nIn this book\, Renzetti draws upon her own life story and her years as an award-winning journalist  at the Globe and Mail\, where her columns followed the trajectory of women’s rights. Forcefully argued\, accessible\, and witty\, What She Said explores a range of issues: the increasingly hostile world of threats that deter young women from seeking a role in public life; the use of non-disclosure agreements to silence victims of sexual harassment and assault; the inadequacy of access to health care and reproductive justice\, especially as experienced by Indigenous and racialized women; the ways in which future technologies must be made more inclusive; the disparity in pay\, wealth\, and savings\, and how women are not yet socialized to be the best financial managers they can be; the imbalanced burden of care\, from emotional labour to child care. \nRenzetti explores the nuance of these issues\, so often presented as divisive\, with humour and sympathy\, in order to unite women at a time when women must work together to protect their fundamental right to exist fully and freely in the world. What She Said is a rallying cry for a more just future. \nTICKETS

SUMMARY:In Conversation With Sarah Leipciger
DESCRIPTION:For readers of Elizabeth Strout and Barbara Kingsolver\, a beautifully observed portrait of marriage\, divorce\, and reconciliation as an estranged couple embark on a road trip from small-town Ontario to B.C. to finally lay to rest the mystery that pulled them apart. \nKathleen and Yannick have not spoken for nineteen years\, not since what happened with their daughter. \nNow\, there’s unexpected news from the other side of the country\, and the call for a road trip they can only make together. \nAs they rattle over two thousand miles in a pick-up\, an alluring history reveals itself: of begrudging love\, headstrong children and hopeless searching\, and of a unique bond that never really went away. \nAs they drive\, bicker\, and lose their way\, an unexpected future for this once broken couple begins to emerge. \nMoon Road captures the wonderment and grief of seeing children grow up; of recovering from long-buried pain\, and rediscovering those most familiar to us; of learning to live and love in a whole new way. \nTICKETS

SUMMARY:A Talk With Barbara McLean
DESCRIPTION:This is a FREE event\, however we ask that you still reserve a ticket since we do have a limited capacity.  \nWhen: Wednesday\, July 3rd @ 8:00pm \nWhere: Cedar Canoe Books (72 Main St E\, Huntsville) \nTickets: FREE – we still ask that you please get tickets as there is a capacity limit. \nAbout The Author \nBarbara McLean has been a lecturer in English Literature and Gender Studies. She has published literary book reviews\, critical essays and poetry. She is the author of Lambsquarters: Scenes from a Handmade Life\, Random House Canada 2002. A handspinner and weaver of wool\, she lives on a farm in Canada where she tends her flock of Border Leicester sheep. \nAbout The Book \nA restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd \nFor 50 years\, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm\, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises\, pleasures\, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s\, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction. \nThrough her unsentimental gaze\, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs\, the shearing and spinning of wool\, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house)\, and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land\, McLean is still making fresh observations\, and she shares them in evocative\, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year\, she also reflects on years past\, offering a long view on climate\, stewardship\, and agriculture. \nWith its vivid description and absorbing storytelling\, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.

SUMMARY:A Talk With Mark Bourrie
DESCRIPTION:About Mark Bourrie \nMark Bourrie is an Ottawa-based author\, lawyer\, and journalist. He holds a master’s in journalism from Carleton University and a PhD in history from the University of Ottawa. In 2017\, he was awarded a Juris Doctor degree and was called to the bar in 2018. He has won numerous awards for his journalism\, including a National Magazine Award\, and received the RBC Charles Taylor Prize in 2020 for his book Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre-Esprit Radisson. His most recent book\, Big Men Fear Me: The Fast Life and Quick Death of Canada’s Most Powerful Media Mogul\, was nominated for several book awards.\n\nAbout The Book \nThis is the story of the collision of two worlds. In the early 1600s\, the Jesuits—the Catholic Church’s most ferocious warriors for Christ—tried to create their own nation on the Great Lakes and turn the Huron (Wendat) Confederacy into a model Jesuit state. At the centre of their campaign was missionary Jean de Brébeuf\, a mystic who sought to die a martyr’s death. He lived among a proud people who valued kindness and rights for all\, especially women. In the end\, Huronia was destroyed. Brébeuf became a Catholic saint\, and the Jesuit’s “martyrdom” became one of the founding myths of Canada. \nIn this first secular biography of Brébeuf\, historian Mark Bourrie\, bestselling author of Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre-Esprit Radisson\, recounts the missionary’s fascinating life and tells the tragic story of the remarkable people he lived among. Drawing on the letters and documents of the time—including Brébeuf’s accounts of his bizarre spirituality—and modern studies of the Jesuits\, Bourrie shows how Huron leaders tried to navigate this new world and the people struggled to cope as their nation came apart. Riveting\, clearly told\, and deeply researched\, Crosses in the Sky is an essential addition to—and expansion of—Canadian history.
