Summary of The Overnight Guest: A Novel by Heather Gudenkauf : Discussion Prompts

In this comprehensive look into The Overnight Guest: A Novel by Heather Gudenkauf, you'll gain insight with this essential resource as a guide to aid your discussions. 

The Overnight Guest is Heather Gudenkauf’s most recent and 8th novel. It follows the story of Wylie Lark, a true-crime writer, who rented a secluded farmhouse so she could focus on writing her latest project. At the same house decades before, a family was murdered, and a girl went missing. 
    
    The novel is propelled by three central plots: the present, where Wylie found an unconscious boy outside the house amid a snowstorm; the past set in August 2000, where Josie’s family were murdered in the same home Wylie was staying, and her friend, Becky, went missing; and the last one was narrated by a third person who tells the story of a child with her mother and abusive father. Readers should brace themselves as they delve deeper to find out how the three timelines are intertwined.

    Mental health care has long been shrouded in misconception and stigma. Despite growing awareness, many people still harbor deep misunderstandings about mental health treatments. For decades, the public’s view of mental health has been influenced by outdated notions and portrayals in media that often fail to reflect the true complexity of mental health care. As society advances, the need to challenge these outdated perceptions becomes more urgent, especially given the rising rates of mental health issues worldwide. 
      
    At its core, mental health treatment is a deeply personal journey, one that requires careful consideration, access to the right resources, and ongoing support. However, despite the best efforts of many professionals, the landscape of mental health care is far from perfect. The reality is that treatments often come with hidden pitfalls—cost barriers, lack of regulation, and the dominance of pharmaceutical companies with their own financial interests. These challenges only deepen the complexity of the mental health crisis, making it harder for individuals to get the care they truly need. 
      
    The pharmaceutical industry plays a central role in shaping the narrative around mental health treatment. Psychiatric medications are often the first line of defense against mental health disorders, but the promise of quick fixes is not always the reality. Many individuals find themselves struggling with side effects, dependency, and the question of whether these drugs are providing long-term solutions. On the other hand, psychotherapy, while frequently effective, is often portrayed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite its varying success rates depending on the individual and their specific condition. Add to this the growing rise of alternative and holistic treatments, which are often hailed as miracles but can lack sufficient scientific backing, and the situation becomes even more confusing.

    Contrary to popular sentiment, Christianity is not dull or out of touch but fresh, relevant, exciting, and contemporary. The Church is political because it tells a radically different story from the dominant political norms of our day. Through a study of the Church’s liturgy, this book seeks to build confidence in the Church’s mission.
    
     
    Politics & Mission examines five pieces of liturgy—namely morning prayer, baptism, eucharist, footwashing and the funeral—detailing in turn the ways in which the language of the liturgy, which we often take for granted, is powerful and counter-cultural. Through its analysis, the book sheds light on three principal areas: what it is to be human, the challenges of contemporary mission, and the particular way in which the Church is political.
    
     
    In so doing, new resources are offered for the practicing Christian, those in Church leadership, and those looking at the Church from the outside, to reflect on and grapple with the challenges of this generation.

    Quebec’s political struggle for autonomy, independence, and the protection of its language, culture, and heritage is shrouded in ambiguity. Let us shed some light on the subject for you. 
    Why have the province’s linguistic and cultural tensions dragged on for nearly four hundred years? In what ways does it differ from the rest of Canada? Did indigenous peoples play a key role in shaping the province’s identity and culture? For what reasons did Quebec’s two sovereigntist referendums fail? And what was the Quiet Revolution?  
    The historic rivalry between Britain and France was an intense, long-standing geopolitical struggle. Relations between the empires cooled at the dawn of the modern age. Today, the nations are close allies, but the embers of Franco-Anglo strife still burn at the core of Quebec society. While Francophone nationalists stress the importance of enacting linguistic and cultural protection laws, Quebecois Anglophones and other non-Francophones claim to be increasingly marginalized by the laws and ideologies of a society ravaged by mass cultural anxiety.  
    So, what is the truth? This audiobook seeks to untangle the storied history and complexities of Canada’s rebel province. It attempts to make sense of how a province of one of the world’s most progressive countries continues to ignite conflict between its French- and English-speaking communities. 
    Some of what this audiobook examines includes the following: The early indigenous civilizations and their rapid transformations after establishing European contact;The rise of the cod and fur trade and the eventual integration of the Americas into European trade networks;
