Such a Winter's Day

Such a Winter's Day

It's 2021, and the housing crisis has reached Saint John, New Brunswick. At eighty-one, Hank Lowman is forced onto the streets when a developer buys the rooming house where he's been living. Although most walk by the old man on the bench in King's Square, a few others begin to chat with him. They soon discover he is a brilliant man with a fascinating history in the music industry--and a complicated, painful past. Hank fled New Brunswick long ago to pursue a career as a recording engineer, and to eventually live his truth as a gay man in San Francisco during the time of Harvey Milk's activism and assassination. He has loved and lost partners, risen to giddying heights as a recording engineer only to have the technology change around him, and through it all ached for the daughter he left behind in New Brunswick. Award-winning author Susan White fills in Hank's life from repressive upbringing, through his growing liberation in San Francisco, and to the terrible fallout after the White Night Riots and Hank's return to New Brunswick in search of his daughter. We meet the people who see Hank as he is--a human who deserves dignity, freedom, and love. Such A Winter's Day is a moving exploration of human rights and justice, and the lasting power of friendship.

Sylvia Drummond Wright needs to escape. A Toronto-based, Giller-longlisted novelist who's been married thirty years, she secretly buys a dilapidated old lodge in New Brunswick and plans to move there with her grandmother and her disabled adult daughter. But her husband, Kent, takes over and, capitalizing on his wife's success, turns the lodge into a business venture -- a writing retreat. Sylvia is determined not to have anything to do with the Wright Retreat, but as an eclectic group of people converges in the renovated lodge by the water, compelling stories and beautiful friendships emerge, and Sylvia finds herself drawn in. There's Janice, a residential school survivor. Irma, whose husband has dragged her here, and who carries an unbelievable grief. Veronica and Dot, who each carry terrible secrets connected to this very lodge, which used to be a Catholic girls' home and was the site of unbelievable cruelty. By the time the retreat is over, not a single person is unchanged -- least of all Sylvia. Even the lodge itself has been transformed from a place of terror to one of healing. The Wright Retreat is an irresistible celebration of story, friendship, and the astonishing power of connection.

Emery is a Less Than, raised behind a wall and under a roof that rarely opens, in a system that grooms some to be lowly and some to be Elite. When she is offered an assignment to take care of the Old Ones, she glimpses a world beyond the restricted one she has known. She plans to escape with Augustus, who longs to see the farm he used to live on, and Emery learns much more about the system that kept her from ever seeing the sky--and about the beautiful, rich world she's been kept from. She tastes food, sees trees, and uncovers her own past for the first time. A hopeful story about a crumbling dystopia, Skyward is a reminder of what happens when we put money before people, and how love is the best resistance.

While volunteering as a study buddy to reluctant readers, I noticed a need for high-interest reading materials for emergent readers. The books need to have simple texts and visually appealing illustrations. Thus was born: Where Do Animals Go in Winter? It is a question that provokes the curiosity of children, and some of its answers are familiar. It explores the realm of possible homes animals have in winter. The illustrations are designed to encourage children to explore their surroundings and the ending question to provoke their imaginations.
Protecting Children

The state is increasingly experienced as both intrusive and neglectful, particularly by those living in poverty, leading to loss of trust and widespread feelings of alienation and disconnection. Against this tense background, this innovative book argues that child protection policies and practices have become part of the problem, rather than ensuring children’s well-being and safety. Building on the ideas in the best-selling Re-imagining child protection and drawing together a wide range of social theorists and disciplines, the book: • Challenges existing notions of child protection, revealing their limits; • Ensures that the harms children and families experience are explored in a way that acknowledges the social and economic contexts in which they live; • Explains how the protective capacities within families and communities can be mobilised and practices of co-production adopted; • Places ethics and human rights at the centre of everyday conversations and practices.

In recent years, new areas of biology, especially epigenetics and neuroscience, have enthralled the public imagination. They have been used as powerful arguments for developing social policy in a particular direction, from early intervention in the lives of disadvantaged children to seeking 'biomarkers' as identifiers of criminality. This timely book, written by leading commentators, critically examines the capabilities and limitations of these biotechnologies, exploring their implications for policy and practice. The book will enable social scientists, policy makers, practitioners and interested general readers to understand how the new biologies of epigenetics and neuroscience have increasingly influenced the fields of family policy, mental health, child development and criminal justice. The book will facilitate much needed debate about what makes a good society and how best to build one. It also draws attention to the ways that the uncertainties of the original science are lost in their translation into the everyday world of practice and policy.

Why has the language of the child and of child protection become so hegemonic? What is lost and gained by such language? Who is being protected, and from what, in a risk society? Given that the focus is overwhelmingly on those families who are multiply deprived, do services reinforce or ameliorate such deprivations? And is it ethical to remove children from their parents in a society riven by inequalities? This timely book challenges a child protection culture that has become mired in muscular authoritarianism towards multiply deprived families. It calls for family-minded humane practice where children are understood as relational beings, parents are recognized as people with needs and hopes and families as carrying extraordinary capacities for care and protection. The authors, who have over three decades of experience as social workers, managers, educators and researchers in England, also identify the key ingredients of just organizational cultures where learning is celebrated. This important book will be required reading for students on qualifying and post-qualifying courses in child protection, social workers, managers, academics and policy makers.
