When Tucker Frost ventures out into the wilderness on a hunting expedition with his Grandpa Angus and his older brother Jordan, the main things on his mind are socializing and graduating from high school. But when Grandpa Angus accidentally drops his gun, releasing a bullet into Tucker's neck, Tucker's whole world tumbles into upheaval. When he wakes, he receives the overwhelming news: his spinal cord has been severed. He'll never walk again. He maintains the use of his arms, and can feel everything above his chest, but as for the rest of it... It's gone. So begins a new journey in Tucker's life. Once an ordinary suburban kid, he's suddenly become extraordinary in a way he never could have expected. ROLLING HOME chronicles the months that follow Tucker's injury. It shows Tucker getting to know his first serious girlfriend, Rebecca, while sorting through his feelings regarding his grandfather and his own father, Mike, who's slipping deeper and deeper into the grip of alcoholism. It often seems like his mother, Paisley, is the household's only stable member. Every time Tucker turns around, his dad or Jordan is heading out the door to go somewhere or another. In the meantime, Tucker has to relearn how to use his body - from functional things like taking a shower to larger challenges like getting in and out of a car. Not to mention discovering sex with Rebecca. As ROLLING HOME advances, Tucker meets Kip Cruiser, a famous motorcycle racer who works part-time coaching a murderball team - murderball being a court-based game wherein paralyzed players compete in their wheelchairs, in something of a demolition derby. When Kip recruits Tucker to sign up for murderball, Rebecca grows insecure and possessive. And her feelings only grow more urgent when Tucker meets Kip's friend Brianna. Meanwhile, Tucker's been avoiding Grandpa Angus. Though they're essentially at peace, they haven't had a chance to discuss what happened - not with any real level of depth. When Tucker's dad gets arrested in a bar fight, the family finds itself with a whole new heap of problems. Mike's facing jail-time. Tucker's furious with him. The pair have never been at ease to begin with, and Tucker's injury has only made their problems worse. Will Mike end up being put away? Will Angus and Tucker confront what happened? Will Tucker end up choosing Brianna over Rebecca? Can Kip be the light that guides Tucker through? ROLLING HOME is a story of growth, love, struggle, and renewal. It's about one kid's attempt to find normalcy from within his wheelchair. And it's about every kid's journey to find his or her own truth.

Tom Allen travels with his family and alone, from Halifax to the interior of British Columbia, riding everything from a two-car dayliner held together with duct tape to a luxury rail cruiser through the Rockies that is packed with wealthy tourists. Along the way, he meets honeymooners and abandoned spouses, ordinary folk and deranged passengers, and veteran railwaymen who sustain pride in their work despite the massive cuts to their industry. Allen weaves his own memories of railroad travel with a family narrative past and present, all the while conjuring the drama, the disappointments, and the magic of Canada's railway history. 2001.

From first joining the Royal Navy in 1940 until the end of the campaign against Japan, Tony Ditcham was in the front line of the naval war. After brief service in the battlecruiser Renown off Norway and against the Italians, he went into destroyers and saw action in most European theatres _ against S-boats and aircraft in 'bomb alley' off Britain's East Coast, on Arctic convoys to Russia, and eventually in a flotilla screening the Home Fleet. During the dramatic Battle of the North Cape in December 1943 he was probably the first man to actually see the Scharnhorst and from his position in the gun director of HMS Scorpion enjoyed a grandstand view of the sinking of the great German battleship (his account was so vivid that it formed the basis of the description in the official history). Later his ship operated off the American beaches during D-Day, where two of her sister ships were sunk with heavy loss of life, and he ended the war en route for the British Pacific Fleet and the invasion of Japan.??This incident-packed career is recounted with restraint, plenty of humour and colourful descriptive power _ his account of broaching and almost capsizing in an Arctic winter storm is as good as anything in the literature of the sea. The result makes enthralling reading, and as the surviving veterans rapidly decline in numbers, this may turn out to be one of the last great eyewitness narratives of the naval war.

In 1970 the Ontario government prepared a book of All Time and Old Time Favourites to be available to all Senior Citezen Homes, Clubs and Centers, and adult Charitable Institutions for use by the members, residents, auxiliaries and staff. But these contained only the words! In 1973 the Markhaven Committe produced a music book to go along with the word. The songs are pitched a little lower, in a key that is easier for seniors to sing, and tha arrangements are simple enough for most pianists to be able to sit down and play.
