Summary

A Town Called Forget is Anne of Green Gables turned on its head. But in this tale it is not an over-imaginative redheaded orphan that takes center stage but the off-beat town itself, full of individuals that should be restrained if not medicated. And the poor heroine of this yarn, banished to live with her Aunt Lily whom her parents have never publicly recognized, has to navigate the delicate balance between her aunt’s sanity and neuroses. Amid adventures and misadventures, she learns about patience, tolerance and even love. 
A tender and often hilarious debut novel from Alberta writer, C.P. Hoff

    In this graphic memoir, the beloved comics artist shares her “frank, funny” story of finding a husband as an observant Muslim woman in America (NPR Morning Edition).   Chaperones, suitors, and arranged marriages aren't only reserved for the heroines of a Jane Austen novel. They're just another walk in the park for this leading lady, who is on a mission to find her leading lad. From the brilliant comics Yes, I’m Hot in This, Huda Fahmy tells the hilarious story of how she met and married her husband. Navigating mismatched suitors, gossiping aunties, and societal expectations for Muslim women, That Can Be Arranged deftly reveals to readers what it can be like to find a husband as an observant Muslim woman in the twenty-first century—offering a perceptive and personal glimpse into the sometimes sticky but ultimately rewarding balance of independent choice and tradition.  Praise for the work of Huda Fahmy   “Explores the complexities of identity . . . hilarious, charming.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Entertaining, frequently wry.” —Publishers Weekly
