worked behind the counter at a local department store? A seamstress in a sweatshop? Yes - she could be any and all of these characters, depending on the story she was chasing for her popular column in the Toronto News. Over 100 years ago, Vic Stein was one of the New Women, a Bachelor Girl who pursued a career in investigative journalism - hardly the type of lifestyle for an upper-middle class young lady. But she had to be stealthy, secretive, and cunning if she wanted her scoop. There are many details we do not know about this secretive and feisty journalist - we don't even know her real name! - but one thing we know for sure: Vic Steinberg would be laughing if she knew that decades after her death, people are still wondering about her and trying to solve the puzzle that was her life.

afin de comprendre comment ce dernier avait, dans la tourmente du dernier demi-siècle, gardé en lui la foi héritée de ceux et celles qui lont précédé. En résulte un dialogue surprenant, dans lequel le grand poète nous révèle avec franchise et pudeur le pays intérieur qui lhabite. Fidèle à ceux qui lont précédé, à ceux qui lont instruit, Vigneault ne renie rien de son passé, il assume son présent et anticipe son avenir. Il décrit et nous dévoile les principales étapes de son existence : vie simple à Natashquan, univers culturel exceptionnel de son alma mater à Rimouski, découverte de Québec et ensuite du monde. Il conserve intactes des valeurs acquises aux jours de la grande noirceur, comme on a baptisé lavant-Révolution tranquille québécoise. Gilles Vigneault poursuitsa longue marche sur les chemins de pied tracés parles anciens. " -- 4e de couv.By Werner Meidinger. 2001

WINNER OF THE CANADIAN JEWISH LITERARY AWARD FOR MEMOIRFINALIST FOR THE HILARY WESTON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR NONFICTIONAn unforgettable memoir…
about a young woman who tries to outrun loss, but eventually finds a way home. Ayelet Tsabari was 21 years old the first time she left Tel Aviv with no plans to return. Restless after two turbulent mandatory years in the Israel Defense Forces, Tsabari longed to get away. It was not the never-ending conflict that drove her, but the grief that had shaken the foundations of her home. The loss of Tsabari’s beloved father in years past had left her alienated and exiled within her own large Yemeni family and at odds with her Mizrahi identity. By leaving, she would be free to reinvent herself and to rewrite her own story. For nearly a decade, Tsabari travelled, through India, Europe, the US and Canada, as though her life might go stagnant without perpetual motion. She moved fast and often because—as in the Intifada—it was safer to keep going than to stand still. Soon the act of leaving—jobs, friends and relationships—came to feel most like home. But a series of dramatic events forced Tsabari to examine her choices and her feelings of longing and displacement. By periodically returning to Israel, Tsabari began to examine her Jewish-Yemeni background and the Mizrahi identity she had once rejected, as well as unearthing a family history that had been untold for years. What she found resonated deeply with her own immigrant experience and struggles with new motherhood.Beautifully written, frank and poignant, The Art of Leaving is a courageous coming-of-age story that reflects on identity and belonging and that explores themes of family and home—both inherited and chosen.A fun and tasty guide to baking with little chefs ages 1 to 4 If your little one is curious…
