Hoping for Home

Stories of Arrival

By: Lillian Boraks-Nemetz

In these eleven original stories, characters bravely face the challenges of settling into a new life. In this wonderful new short story anthology, eleven of Canada's top children's authors contribute stories of immigration, displacement and change, exploring the frustration and uncertainty those changes can bring. Told in first-person narratives, this collection features a diverse cast of boys and girls, each one living at a different point in Canada's vast landscape and history. With unforgettable protagonists -- such as Miriam, a Warsaw-ghetto survivor, now reunited with her family in Montreal; Wong Joe-on, a young Chinese immigrant who faces racism in a small Saskatchewan town; and Insy, an Ojibwe girl who makes her first trip to a "white" town in Northern Ontario -- young readers will be moved by the opportunities and difficulties that these characters face, as each one ponders what it means to be Canadian, and struggles to fit in. Hoping for Home includes stories by Jean Little, Kit Pearson, Brian Dowle, Paul Yee, Irene N. Watts, Ruby Slipperjack, Afua Cooper, Rukhsana Khan, Marie--Andrée Clermont, Lillian Boraks--Nemetz and Shelley Tanaka.

Garden of Steel

By: Jagna Boraks,Lillian Boraks-Nemetz

Garden of Steel is a song against the ruins of our age. This is a rare book of poems, a testament written out of the blood and imbued with the force of life, a poetry of victory rather than victimization, a poetry of healing and good health.
