    A former United Church minister massacres his family. What led to this act of femicide, and why were his victims forgotten? 
     
     
     
    On May 2, 1963, Robert Killins, a former United Church minister, slaughtered every woman in his family but one. She (and her brother) lived to tell the story of what motivated a talented man who had been widely admired, a scholar and graduate from Queen's University, to stalk and terrorize the women in his family for almost twenty years and then murder them. 
     
     
     
    Through extensive oral histories, Cook and Carson painstakingly trace the causes of a femicide in which four women and two unborn babies were murdered over the course of one bloody evening. While they situate this murderous rampage in the literature on domestic abuse and mass murders, they also explore how the two traumatized child survivors found their way back to health and happiness. Told through vivid first-person accounts, this family memoir explains how a murderer was created.

    Mirror, Mirror - The mirror, both literal and figurative, serves as a powerful symbol in this context. It is where we first encounter our reflection, yet it can also distort our sense of self, making us question whether we truly see who we are or merely a distorted version of reality. Body image—the way we perceive and feel about our physical appearance—often influences our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. When this perception becomes negative, it can trigger harmful behaviors, such as restrictive eating, excessive exercising, or binge eating, leading to eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. 
    You’re Worth It - Believing in your own value is not an act of arrogance; it is an act of self-respect. When you truly believe in your worth, you stop settling for less than you deserve and start making choices that reflect the greatness within you. It is the foundation of every success, every achievement, and every meaningful connection you will make along the way. This belief becomes your driving force, propelling you through challenges and helping you navigate the inevitable obstacles life presents.

    Jamestown is remembered today because the settlement did survive through the hardships and go on to serve as the capital of the English colony for much of the 17th century. Likewise, the English would forge a settlement in Massachusetts Bay that also maintained tenuous relations with nearby natives. But while conflicts between settlers and natives remain well known, some of the European conflicts in North America have been overlooked, including England’s competitions with Spain and the Netherlands. When the West India Company, which presided over Dutch trade in the Americas, was created in 1621, a little settlement at the tip of Manhattan began to both grow and falter. When Willem Kieft arrived as director in 1638, it was already a sort of den of iniquity, full of “mischief and perversity,” where residents were given over to smoking and drinking grog and beer. Under Kieft’s reign, more land was acquired mostly through bloody, all-but-exterminating wars with the Native American population, whose numbers also dwindled at the hands of European-borne diseases.  
    	On September 13, 1759, a battle was fought on the Plains of Abraham outside the old city of Quebec that was one of the turning point battles in world history. Thanks to the British victory and the events that followed, Canada went from being a colony of France (New France) to being a colony of Great Britain, which permanently changed Canadian history. In many ways, the outcome of the battle brought about several American attempts to seize Canada during the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, and ultimately it ensured that when Canada became an independent country, it was part of the British Commonwealth with an Anglophone majority and a Francophone minority. Frictions over cultural and political issues between the English Canadians and the Québécois, dating back to the battle, continue to impact the state of affairs in Canada today.
