It was only after the story was published that she discovered her own family could have been included—her parents had run their own Chinese restaurant\, The Legion Cafe\, before she was born. This discovery\, and the realization that there was so much of her own history she didn’t yet know\, set her on a time-sensitive mission: to understand how\, after generations living in a poverty-stricken area of Guangdong\, China\, her family had somehow wound up in Canada. \n\n Slow Death by Rubber Duck by Rick Smith \nKnopf Canada \n\n \nThe landmark book about the toxicity of everyday life\, updated\, revised and re-issued for its 10th anniversary\, along with the experiments from Smith and Lourie’s second book\, Toxin Toxout. \n\nThey Called Me George by Cecil Foster \nBiblioasis \n\n \nSmartly dressed and smiling\, Canada’s Black train porters were a familiar sight to the average passenger—yet their minority status rendered them politically invisible\, second-class in the social imagination that determined who was and who was not considered Canadian. Drawing on the experiences of these influential Black Canadians\, Cecil Foster’s They Call Me George demonstrates the power of individuals and minority groups in the fight for social justice and shows how a country can change for the better. \n\nThe Gown by Jennifer Robson \nHarperCollins \n\n \n  \nWith The Gown\, Jennifer Robson takes us inside the workrooms where one of the most famous wedding gowns in history was created. Balancing behind-the-scenes details with a sweeping portrait of a society left reeling by the calamitous costs of victory\, she introduces readers to three unforgettable heroines\, their points of view alternating and intersecting throughout its pages\, whose lives are woven together by the pain of survival\, the bonds of friendship\, and the redemptive power of love. \n000000
