Out Standing in the Field A Memoir by Canada’s First Female Infantry Officer Sandra Perron

“The Canadian Forces can only hope to repair, grow, and thrive if it embraces the incredible, diverse potential available to it among its entire population. Women like Ms. Perron not only have the necessary traditional skills to be great soldiers and officers, but bring hosts of new and essential skill sets. We continue to repel them at our own foolish peril.” - Roméo Dallaire 6

The Unfinished Dollhouse a memoir by Michelle Alfano

No mother is prepared for the moment when a child comes out to her as a person whose physical gender is out-of-keeping with his emotional and psychological gender-identity. In Michelle Alfano’s intimate memoir, she recounts her experience as the mother of a transgender child. The central metaphor of The Unfinished Dollhouse tells the story: on Frankie’s fourth birthday, her parents Michelle and Rob purchased a kit to create a beautiful dollhouse. Michelle imagined building the home, buying the tiny pieces of furniture and accessories to fill it and, more importantly, the times she and her daughter would spend constructing the perfect doll- house - a fantasy of domestic and familial happiness. Frankie expressed no interest in such typically girlish pursuits because Frankie harboured a secret - a secret about gender. In the years to follow, Frankie’s parents experienced an education in parenting a child transitioning from female to male - which pronouns to use, how to disclose the information to friends, family, school and how to ISBN 978-1-77086-498-6 deal with the reactions of all - some heartening, some surprising, some $22.95 • TP • 5.125” x 7.625” • 288 pp disappointing.

In a Wide Country a novel by Robert Everett-Green

“The mouth she drew with her red lipliner was bigger and more shapely than her own, and it made me think, not for the first time, how wonderful life would be if I could draw a better me.”

This is the observation of twelve-year-old Jasper, watching his mother, sometime-model Corinne, prepare herself for their escape from Winnipeg and the situation she finds herself in. From this point, Jasper can only try to create the stable life he craves, as the best candidate for a substitute father, Dean, vanishes in the dust rising behind Corinne’s Corvair – a present Dean gave her. They drive to the farm in Alberta where Corinne grew up, then on to Edmonton, before stopping finally at the edge of the continent, Vancouver; and along the way, Jasper hears variations on the story of his father’s death - always a plane crash, always on the hunt for oil, but the circumstances and weather alter with every telling. In a Wide Country, the debut novel by Robert Everett-Green, is the moving story of a mother and her son traveling together, but in different directions, across western Canada in the summer of 1961.
