  When Gillian Hussey started out in Bridewell District Court in 1984, little did she realise that she would deal with some of the most notorious criminals in Ireland, including the Kinahans, the Cahills, 'The Monk' and John Gilligan.
  As one of Ireland's first female judges, Gillian was very much a woman in a man's world. Unafraid to look beyond the courtroom, she always sought to better understand the human – not just the criminal – who stood before her in the dock. Through her work, Gillian spent a lifetime learning about people, society and herself.
  This fascinating insight into the career of a trailblazing woman reveals the inner workings of Ireland's criminal courts, explores the changes in Irish society and shares some timeless truths learned from almost twenty years on the bench.

  Welcome to the house of fun.
  It's the early 1980s and Fiona Neary and her family have recently moved back from England to the family farm. Fiona's huge-hearted mum decides to take in foster children – a decision that will change all their lives.
   Over the next decade, a procession of faces passes through the house. Every child has their own story, and each story claims a little piece of Fiona's heart. Some stay a few weeks; some months, and then years. All these children, as well as Fiona and her family, must pass through a chaotic system: where a judge's decision can alter a child's life, for better or worse; where emergency placements can break up siblings; where the foster family are often left in the dark and with little back-up.
  Filled with pathos and humour, Parcels in the Post is both a memoir of a loving household and snapshot of the fostering system in Ireland, from someone at the very heart of it all.

  DEAR BISHOP, a new audio original written and read by former professional football player and television personality, COLTON UNDERWOOD. Throughout his life, Colton was chasing perfection. He wanted to be the most decorated student athlete. The best professional football player. The beloved lead on The Bachelor. But even as he found success, he knew in his heart that he wasn’t being honest with himself. When Colton finally found his way to living openly as a gay man, he knew that his journey was not about following his ambition. It was a search for self-love and acceptance.    Last fall, Colton and his husband welcomed home their son, Bishop, and their lives were forever changed. Nobody could have warned Colton about the new kind of love that filled their home. It was instant and all-encompassing, built on the foundation of self-love that Colton cultivated for himself as he worked through his own obstacles.    As Bishop approaches a year old, Colton wants to reflect on this experience of new fatherhood in the form of DEAR BISHOP, an audio letter about his son’s first year of life and the path that led him there. From football to fame. Dating shows and diapers. DEAR BISHOP is not only a deeply emotional account of Colton’s life, but a tribute to the universal message that love makes a family. While the piece is incredibly personal, Colton aims to reach parents within the LGBTQ+ community through his story that expands the typical narrative surrounding parenthood.

  ONE OF THE GLOBE AND MAIL'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025 
  WINNER OF THE 2025 TORONTO BOOK AWARD 
  "Striking, elegant." – Publishers Weekly, ★ STARRED Review 
  An activist priest provides sanctuary for an encampment of unhoused people in her churchyard 
  The housing crisis plaguing major urban centres has sent countless people into the streets. In spring 2022, some of them found their way to the yard beside the Anglican church in Toronto’s Kensington Market, where Maggie Helwig is the priest. They pitched tents, formed an encampment, and settled in. Known as an outspoken social justice activist, Helwig has spent the last three years getting to know the residents and fighting tooth and nail to allow them to stay, battling various authorities that want to clear the yard and keep the results of the housing crisis out of sight and out of mind.  
  Encampment tells the story of Helwig’s life-long activism as preparation for her fight to keep her churchyard open to people needing a home. More importantly, it introduces us to the Artist, to Jeff, and to Robin: their lives, their challenges, their humanity. It confronts our society’s callousness in allowing so many to go unhoused and demands, by bringing their stories to the fore, that we begin to respond with compassion and grace.
