  In 1849, the Thomas Arbuthnot set sail for Australia.
  
  Onboard were 194 Irish girls.
  I heard the emotion in Sarah's voice as she asked, 'Will we ever come back?'
  'Come back where?'
  'Home,' said Sarah. 'Do you think we will ever see Ireland again?'
  Maggie and Sarah are on their way to Australia. Their homes and their lives have been devastated by famine, with death coming to so many. Even when they sought refuge in the workhouse they found horror and heartbreak there.
  When the girls are given the chance of a new life on the other side of the world, they know they have to say yes – no matter the price.
  On board ship, they are caught in between worlds. How will they find the courage and strength to build new lives in a strange land?

  An unflinching reimagining of Legacy: Trauma, Story, and Indigenous Healing for young adults
  		 
  Written specifically for young adults, reluctant readers, and literacy learners, Killing the Wittigo explains the traumatic effects of colonization on Indigenous people and communities and how trauma alters an individual’s brain, body, and behavior. It explores how learned patterns of behavior — the ways people adapt to trauma to survive — are passed down within family systems, thereby affecting the functioning of entire communities. The book foregrounds Indigenous resilience through song lyrics and as-told-to stories by young people who have started their own journeys of decolonization, healing, and change. It also details the transformative work being done in urban and on-reserve communities through community-led projects and Indigenous-run institutions and community agencies. These stories offer concrete examples of the ways in which Indigenous peoples and communities are capable of healing in small and big ways — and they challenge readers to consider what the dominant society must do to create systemic change. Full of bold graphics and illustration, Killing the Wittigo is a much-needed resource for Indigenous kids and the people who love them and work with them.

  Calvin had ideas on how we could live better lives — particularly how we could live in close harmony with God and each other — but because his ideas were radical, his life was filled with dramatic events and dangers.He was run out of town — and then welcomed back. He was accused of being too harsh — and also too tender hearted. When he explained what the bible meant he was considered too logical and too spiritual! He must have been an amazing man to have caused such a stir!
