BOOK CLUB is BACK! Drop in or DM for details on how you can join us as we travel back to Depression Era Canada This is what people are saying about our Feb/ March BOOK CLUB Pick - Dust and Devils by Rhonda Leanne Stock... "This was a page-turner. Great plot, dialogue and vivid images of the prairies during the Depression years. There's a lot of grit in this story, a lot of history and a lot of surprises." "Good depression era, Saskatchewan novel" "If you want historical fiction and mystery rolled up into one Depression-era yarn, read Rhonda's Dust and Devils" "This book is an excellent read. It grabbed my interest with the first line and wouldn't let go. Jake is a character that you fall in love with from the get go. You feel for him in his struggles and rejoice with his triumphs and really wish he'd just keep his mouth shut. I loved the book. It ruined me. I stayed up way too late at night because I couldn't put it down" " This is a great story. Great stories are hard to find these days. I read it in just a few days and was mad when it ended" " I really enjoyed this book! It was very engaging, so much so that I read it in 2 evenings because I could not put it down! Well written, easy to read, interesting story! It's educational (historic fiction explains life during 30s, author put a lot of work into research and there were a few things that I've learned) and vivid! I can't wait for the second book!"

Then a deployment sends Jolene deep into harm's way and leaves defense attorney Michael at home, unaccustomed to being a single parent to their two girls. As a mother, it agonizes Jolene to leave her family, but as a solider, she has always understood the true meaning of duty. In her letters home, she paints a rose-colored version of her life on the front lines, shielding her family from the truth. But war will change Jolene in ways that none of them could have foreseen. When tragedy strikes, Michael must face his darkest fear and fight a battle of his ownfor everything that matters to his family. At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope.
