  Two natural disasters. Two young men worlds apart seeking their pathways in life, and their unlikely intersection.
  When Buffalo, NY, language teacher Bryant Simmons goes online looking for a chat buddy, he stumbles onto a post by the young Moroccan Issam LeBeau, desperate to find a man to rescue him from the strict and conservative culture of his country. While Bryant has little interest in corresponding with Issam, he warns him about the dangers of having a post of this kind in his city of Marrakech. Issam agrees to remove it only if Bryant continues talking to him. And so ensues an extended discussion of lifestyles and cultural differences, the two men becoming ever closer. 
  In spite of Issam's prodding, Bryant isn't sure how far he wants to take the exchange beyond a friendship, at times feeling trapped by the demands of the young man. But fate takes the upper hand, drawing the two closer as one faces death in a freezing blizzard, the other in a terrible earthquake.

  As a small boy in remote Alberta, Darrel J. McLeod is immersed in his Cree family’s history, passed down in the stories of his mother, Bertha. There he is surrounded by her tales of joy and horror—of the strong men in their family, of her love for Darrel, and of the cruelty she and her sisters endured in residential school—as well as his many siblings and cousins, and the smells of moose stew and wild peppermint tea. And there young Darrel learns to be fiercely proud of his heritage and to listen to the birds that will guide him throughout his life.But after a series of tragic losses, Bertha turns wild and unstable, and their home life becomes chaotic. Sweet and eager to please, Darrel struggles to maintain his grades and pursue interests in music and science while changing homes, witnessing domestic violence, caring for his younger siblings, and suffering abuse at the hands of his brother-in-law. Meanwhile, he begins to question and grapple with his sexual identity—a reckoning complicated by the repercussions of his abuse and his sibling’s own gender transition.Thrillingly written in a series of fractured vignettes, and unflinchingly honest, Mamaskatch—“It’s a wonder!” in Cree—is a heartbreaking account of how traumas are passed down from one generation to the next, and an uplifting story of one individual who overcame enormous obstacles in pursuit of a fulfilling and adventurous life.

  Logan Jean used to be inseparable from his best friend and teammate, Riley Sinclair. From stick ball to Little League to state championships, Logan and Riley were a team of two. That changed one fateful night near the end of high school, when Logan lost the best person in his life over a stupid mistake he never meant to make.
  Now adults, Logan must face Riley in what might be the turning point of his Minor League career. Riley is no doubt getting called up to the Majors, Logan hopes to get called up as well, and both are competing for this season's MVP award. But if he can't strike out the one batter that's haunted him since high school, Logan may never get his big break. 
  Riley Sinclair has spent the past seven years getting into their ex-best friend's head to taunt and psych him out, trying to beat him on the baseball field, instead of trying to undo the damage they'd done to their relationship when they were younger. Tonight, after the biggest game of their Minor League careers, Riley might have one last chance to explain to Logan what really happened all those years ago, and maybe fix what's been broken. 
  Does Logan have what it takes to strike out his biggest rival in the league? Can Riley muster up the nerve to finally say to Logan what they've wanted to all this time? Or will the two of them remain strangers, standing sixty-feet apart, forever?
