  This year is my last chance to take the Titans to victory. I cost us the cup last year, but I'm not making the same mistake again. And I'm determined to get drafted by the end of this season. 
   
   
   
  The success I anticipate is built on three years of razor-sharp focus and hard-earned respect. Not to mention how much of my personal life I sacrificed for hockey. The Titans trust me to lead them and I won't betray that. Nothing could possibly go wrong. 
   
   
   
  Until the former love of my life and current arch nemesis, Cameron Martinez, skates back into my life. His very presence throws me off balance. His intense gaze and aggressive, dominant, and possessive streaks feel like a lasso pulling me toward him. 
   
   
   
  It only takes so many shared showers and locker room encounters before I'm too weak to continue resisting this pull. 
   
   
   
  But we both know there is no future for us. Our ambitions have always left a trail of ruin and heartbreak in their wake. Why should this time be any different? 
   
   
   
  Except I can't think straight when he's around. And every private moment we share makes me forget why I'm even here in the first place. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Life’s Journey is a collection of three stories presented in a single offering. The titles are, Rhapsody, Incident at the Copa, and Life’s Journey. 
  Rhapsody, is the story of a young man’s encounter with an illness he cannot escape. Rhapsody offers a brief glimpse into the thoughts and feelings of this young man, as he struggles with an unwanted reality. It touches upon his youthful exuberance, and his absolute denial, and cruel indifference for others, until finally coming to a resigned acceptance of the inevitable, and a guilt that pulls him down. It’s the highs and lows of life’s journey as he’s confronted with a final judgement of his own making. 
  Incident at the Copa is a story of a young woman who, as world war two ends, finds herself unemployed and her prospects limited as America’s factories convert from war time production. Wanting more for herself that being a housewife, she is unwavering in her desire for success and independence. It’s luck and happenstance that set her on a new path, for the perfect job, at the Copacabana show club where both happiness and life’s twists await. 
  Life’s Journey. It was love that brought them together, nourishing them, leaving its mark. And it was their devotion to each other that drove them apart. She wanted to make him better. He wanted to make her happy. From those giddy days in the beginning, to their final ending. It’s life’s journey, where Cupid’s arrow takes its toll.

  Longlisted for the 2023 Scotiabank Giller Prize 
  		 
  September 2023 selection for Great Group Reads by the Women’s National Book Association
  		 
  “Unsparing and compassionate … A novel of harrowing eloquence, We Meant Well explores compelling cultural contrasts and the ambiguity of charitable outreach.” — Foreword Reviews
  		 
  A propulsive debut that grapples with timely questions about what it means to be charitable, who deserves what, and who gets the power to decide
  		 
  It’s the middle of the night in Los Angeles when Maya, a married mother of one, receives the phone call. Her colleague Marc has been accused of assaulting a local girl in Likanni, where they operate a charitable orphanage. Can she get on the next flight?
  		 
  When Maya arrives, protesters surround the compound. The accuser is Lele, her former protégé and the chief’s daughter. There are no witnesses, no proof of any crime.
  		 
  What happened that night? And what will happen to the orphanage if this becomes a scandal? Caught between Marc and Lele, the charity and the villagers, her marriage and new temptations, and between worlds, Maya lives the secret contradictions of the aid worker: there to serve the most deprived, but ultimately there to govern.
  		 
  As Maya feels the pleasures, freedoms, and humanity of life in Likanni, she recognizes that her American life is inextricably woven into this violent reality — and that dishonesty in one place affects the realities in another.
