Native New Yorker Joe Caggiano moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s with a dream to make it big in the movie business. Instead, like millions of young hopefuls, he spent 30 years working in the restaurant business. An avid reader with multiple advanced degrees but no instinct for self-promotion, Joe watched his dreams fritter away while others in his circle achieved their goals and, in some cases, made the world a better place. Now suddenly unemployed, Joe seems destined to spend the rest of his life on the sidelines, until a chance meeting with a bright young girl turns everything around. Thanks to an angel-faced orphan on the run from an abusive foster home, Joe embarks on a path of discovery, happiness, and enlightenment that promises to far outshine any of the Hollywood dreams that originally brought him to the City of Angels.

Like pesky wasps buzzing circles around us, people who act as if they''re the sole expert on a subject put us on edge. We bristle at their arrogant, rigid certainty and refusal to change their minds in the face of abundant evidence that should give reason to pause.Thief of Reason opens with a gripping scene of rising tension during a family dinner conversation. Polarized viewpoints spark a heated argument between an intolerant, dogmatic father and his son, Rick, a bright, twenty-eight-year-old university student who''s determined to understand his fractured relationship with his father and capture the heart of his new love-a political neophyte who, unlike himself, is devoutly religious.With a lively injection of humour, Johnson skillfully contrasts closed-minded characters with those who are more open-minded, respectful, and inclusive-those who get second dinner invitations. Readers will think of people they''ve met or are related to, partners they''ve loved and left, bosses and coworkers they''ve endured, or candidates they''ve unwittingly voted for.Compelling, insightful, and unforgettable, Thief of Reason peers through a powerful psychological lens that''s delightfully original and life-changing.

Mommy Says I Have a Sister is designed to open up a conversation with your children about a sibling they may or may not have met, making it easier for them to ask questions and learn about a special person that is no longer here with them.

Ernie Kippett never recovered from the 2008 financial crisis, so he took his sorry soul back to his little hometown. And hallelujah! It was just in time for the state marijuana laws to change. But the commercial production of medical marijuana doesn''t come without challenges. Over at the new legal grow-op it''s mostly mayhem and ever-inflating construction costs. Lydia Rosemore, the fabulously rich widow who funds the operation, doesn''t have a clue. And Caldwell Porter, who might have only ever been a con man, is determined to produce the finest weed in America, not to mention grab all the power in the company he can. Staff turnover never stops and nepotism is rampant, though perhaps not as rampant as the technical glitches and infestations. Then there''s the budding war between the horticultural specialists and the master grower from Colorado. Given the constant chaos and the changing regulations issued by a state determined never to be mistaken for the local dealer, will the healing product ever make it to the shelves?

Marilyn Carr’s family arrived in Deep River, Ontario in 1960 because her dad got a job at a mysterious place called “the plant.” The quirky, isolated residence for the employees of Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories was impeccably designed by a guy named John Bland. It’s a test-tube baby of a town that sprang, fully formed, from the bush north of Algonquin Park, on the shore of the Ottawa River. Everything has already been decided, including the colours of the houses, inside and out. What could possibly go wrong?Nowhere like This Place is a coming-of-age memoir set against the backdrop of the weirdness of an enclave with more PhDs per capita than anywhere else on earth. It’s steeped in thinly veiled sexism and the searing angst of an artsy child trapped in a terrarium full of white-bread nuclear scientists and their nuclear families. Everything happens, and nothing happens, and it all works out in the end. Maybe.
