  On a whim, armchair-atheist Richard Kelly Kemick joins the 100-plus cast of The Canadian Badlands Passion Play, North America's largest production of its kind and one of the main tourist attractions in Alberta. By the time closing night is over, Kemick has a story to tell. From the controversial choice of casting to the bizarre life in rehearsal, this glorious behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada's strangest theatrical spectacles also confronts the role of religion in contemporary life and the void left by its absence for non-believers. 
  "Kemick's book is that delicious cross between Waiting for Guffman and The Studhorse Man, a rousing personal comedy that dances between the sweat of art and the glue of experience. Nothing like it exists in non-fiction, but don't read it for that reason. Read it because it sticks to your fingers and you can't shake it off." — Dave Bidini 
  "Well-observed and poignant, this is a fascinating look into a largely unknown world." — Michael Coren 
  "Richard Kemick spends a summer in Alberta's Bible Belt where it may be easier to find God than a vegetarian meal. There, he confronts age-old questions about belief with near-miraculous freshness, honesty, and humour. A deeply personal investigation of the blurred border between faith and imagination." — Marcello Di Cintio

  I am the worst person in the world. 
  Bad mother. Bad lover. Bad worker. Bad woman. Bad friend ... 
   
  An exploration of motherdom and ego, culture and art, love and pain, The Sea in the Metro tells the story of a new mother in Paris trying to make it work – and failing. What happens when the control you thought you had over your life is usurped by your nature? 
   
  Jayne was raised to believe she could have everything. Child, career, relationship, even a life in Paris. So why does she feel like a monster? As her ego wars with her natural instincts, Jayne searches for answers in friendship, the city, memories of her late mother, art, writing and New Wave films … and finds only more questions. There are parts of herself that parenthood won't let her avoid. 
   
  Unsentimental and untamed, The Sea in the Metro is an unflinching excavation of modern womanhood that marks the thrilling return of an incredible talent in Australian literature.

  "Ever been so hurt that you want to go to one's mama, 
  and ask why she did not beat their butt? 
  Somehow. 
  You thought the relationship was a lasting forever, 
  but it was an artificial, long-term shortcut.  
  You didn't even know what was up. 
  You were just the Bonnie and Clyde... 
  loyal, giving peace, a symbol of good luck. 
  What God has joined together, 
  let no man put asunder. 
  How you let the enemy use you, 
  and put the relationship under? 
  Sex addiction. Infidelity. 
  Lies. Deceit. 
  Actions were supposed to be stronger. 
  The trust is gone, pain exists. 
  You don't want to be in the relationship any longer. 
  What happened to getting on your knees? 
  Praying to God over miseries. 
  Having faith and working into victories. 
  Not living your greatest fantasies? 
  Please. 
  Who's the blame? 
  Depends on how you go about it. 
  The efforts you put in 
  is what you will get out of it. 
  Do not doubt it.  
  With God, 
  all things are possible... 
  fight your way around it. 
  A relationship that God has put together, 
  is a long-term forever. 
  You will know when you've found it." -Queen Pennin ("Color Me in the Lines-A Poetry Collection of God's Markers" 2024) 
  This series reflects the transformation of being a victim, into being a survivor. Then conquering past relationship trauma. 
  Queen Pennin authors this series and revolutionizes artistry by introducing a fusion of rap, poetry, and spoken word. This series aims to encourage and motivate positive transformation through stories of relationship tragedies where self-love emerges as the ultimate triumph.
