Also in progress: My Window on Africa by Connie Smith and Ann McRae. This is just a working title, and there is no cover art yet. At a young nurse, Connie, an Anglo-Quebecer, chose life in Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the shadow of an active volcano, with the risks of Ebola, an ongoing civil war and a culture very different from her origins. She’s very happy there. Find out what was behind her remarkable choices. Coming in late 2026 or maybe a bit later.
Lifeboats for All: Jo Grey’s Lifetime of Social Justice Advocacy (also just a working title) describes a Toronto woman who has championed Basic Income (among many other issues about food security and income inequality). Jo is feisty, entertaining and determined, and proves that one person CAN make a difference. She challenges the standard dismissal of the issues affecting the poor. She asks,”how will a rising tide lifting all boats help those who have no boat?”
