Winnipeg launch of Cedar Dance (Yellow Dog) featuring special guests Jodi Carmichael and Larry Verstraete.
Charles Cedar Dance has little in common with his hippie mother. At the annual school camp, Charles has a chance encounter with the father he has never known and while spying on him at a nearby anti-logging protest camp, Charles finds himself at the centre of a mystery involving a saboteur-turned-kidnapper.
When Charles decides he wants to get to know his dad, he learns the truth about his parents and must re-evaluate his view of his family.
Monica Nawrocki lives with her partner and dog on a remote island off the west coast of British Columbia. She earns her living as a substitute teacher—often reading under-construction manuscripts to captive classroom audiences and happily impersonating someone different every day. She is the author of three books, and her fiction and non-fiction pieces have appeared in various journals and anthologies in Canada and the U.S. You can visit her online.
