DREAMING HOME

WINNER | Fred Kerner Award, Canadian Authors
SHORTLIST | Emerging Writer Prize, Rakuten Kobo

From Biblioasis Books comes a novel-in-stories that explores with humour and insight the ways we search for home.

A sister’s childhood act of betrayal awakens the father’s demons, ones spawned during his time in prisoner-of-war camps in Vietnam. The effects of the ensuing violence against the gay son ripple out over forty years in six tales told from separate points-of-view. The resulting novel, while heartbreakingly poignant, is often surprisingly funny. It is not so much a linked story collection as a single, tightly integrated narrative that relates the legacy of childhood trauma on this Texas family. | MORE |

After editing and expanding the novel-in-stories by my late husband—visual artist, author and educator, Alex Turner—I’m happy to announce that its penultimate tale is out now in the literary journal, Prairie Fire.
