  The intriguing, in-depth story of the most powerful woman in Canadian politics. *A NATIONAL BESTSELLER* 
   
   
   
  Catherine Tsalikis traces Chrystia Freeland's remarkable journey from the northwestern Alberta town of Peace River to Moscow, London, and New York, where she spent two decades as a journalist, to the halls of Parliament Hill as deputy prime minister and finance minister in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. Ambitious and talented with a work ethic to match, Freeland has had an impressive run since she entered politics in 2013: spearheading major trade negotiations, expertly navigating relations with an erratic US president, speaking out about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, and standing up to Vladimir Putin's aggressions in Ukraine. 
   
   
   
  With her impeccable research, seasoned perspective, and accessible style, Tsalikis brings Freeland's story to life. The defining moments and experiences that shaped Freeland's particular worldview illuminate the answers to larger social questions: how to live a good, useful life; how to hold fast to guiding principles; how to break through glass ceilings. This is a unique behind-the-curtains look at Canadian politics through the story of a trailblazing woman.

  The Black Box Movement is not a redemption story. It’s a flight recorder. A raw, unfiltered record of one man’s collapse — and the invisible work of rebuilding a life after addiction, estrangement, and the quiet erasure that comes when you're cut off from your children. 
  Written and narrated by a father who nearly didn’t survive, this audiobook tells the truth most recovery books won’t: sobriety doesn’t guarantee healing, and healing doesn’t guarantee reunion. 
  This isn’t advice. This isn’t performance. It’s a record — of the work they’ll never witness, and the man who chose to become someone worth returning to, even if no one ever does.
