Review:
* Finalist, Trade Title of the Year, Alberta Book Awards"Sidles up to the nuclear core of emotion that journalists usually keep contained ... here, the 'I' has muscled to the foreground, and the writing is more interestingly shaded."--Susan Grimbly, The Globe and Mail

"As a journalist, I found the creative stretch of these stories inspiring. To answer the book's title, Why are you telling me this? Because we can find something of ourselves in these stories." --Sharon Crawford, freelance writer and member of PWAC.
