Jessie Granatstein doesn’t think she’ll have anything to say in the journal her teacher asks her to write—until suddenly, the words come tumbling out. Zoe Eberhardt has been raised and cherished by the strong, powerful women in her family, but when she turns fourteen, she starts to see that she’ll soon have to establish an identity of her own.

For the young women in these stories, growing up may be complicated, but it always leads in surprising new directions.

Book excerpt: Dear Bill is, in many ways, a time capsule that illuminates and brilliantly colours the years of 1939-1945 from a uniquely Canadian pioneer perspective. Bill Treadgold was a young man from Kelowna, BC commissioned into the RCAF; while his war efforts were confined to air forces bases in Western Canada, he was separated from his family and friends and maintained contact through letter writing. The letters he received in response to his own, form the rich memoir Dear Bill. While Dear Bill is a memoir from the war years, and brings to life Allied operations in Europe through letters from buddies who were commissioned overseas, it is, arguably, more so a memoir of battles on the home front, and of the triumphs of an incredibly resilient family. by: Shelagh Ryan McNee who discovered from reading these letters that her grandfather-in-law was Bill’s commanding officer at Pat Bay, B.C.

Book excerpt: Alexander Logan migrated from Canada to Australia around 1855. He married Eliza Collins in Sydney in 1858. Eliza arrived from England in 1856.

Travel was by sailing boat and horseback over mountains. They built the Junction Inn and Eliza Logan Store at Tumbulgum. Alexander was known as Captain Logan and he ferried goods along the river.

Another was a successful businessman in Brisbane. William had a cordial factory in Armidale and was a noted photographer. His twin, Lightly Thomas, sailed the Pacific, and had a range of businesses.
