Excerpt: |
Jamie stood at the rear of the Peterhead boat. It was good to be out on the waters breathing in the fresh, cold air. He had spent weeks burying the dead from the measles epidemic that had decimated the population of Ungava Bay just a few months ago. The disease had wiped out a tenth of his people. It had been a long, arduous task to bury so many. Each person was given their due respect with proper burial honors. Each family had trekked up the steep hill behind Fort Chimo bearing the remains of their dearly beloved, taken by the dreaded measles, carrying them to their final resting place in the newly consecrated cemetery. It was a hard climb, weighed down by the physical and emotional burdens of the occasion. Jamie hoped and prayed to God that he would never again have to bury so many people at one time. It was enough to make any man teeter on the edge and fall into the grave himself. He certainly felt like he was falling. Only his faith kept him sane. That and his sense of awe as he witnessed his community bond together and carry on. Never before had he seen such strength and determination to survive in the aftermath of such devastating loss.

Excerpt: |
London, Ontario, Canada â December 2007 I should be doing something, anything. My body will not function. It does not seem to read my mind nor does it respond to my commands. In short, my body is no longer working. I just lie here, mostly in a daze, thinking about all of the things that I should be doing, could be doing, yet cannot do. I do not understand why this is happening to me. I have never been one to lie around idle. My hands have always been busy and my mind has always been active. I should be teaching, taking care of Norman, looking after the great grandchildren, painting, knitting, sewing, working on my embroidery, baking, taking pictures, reading, doing my pottery, working on my genealogy, writing to someone, talking on the phone, helping sort out a problemâŠ. the list is endless. I never could run out of things to do. So why this? Why now? A voice is singing to me. Norman, bless his heart, is singing me a love song. For sixty-one years we have stood together, loved one another and took care of each other. Usually it was Norman who was very sick. This is the first time that it is me and I do not like it one bit! I should be singing along with him. Music is my great gift. It is a gift I have shared and passed on to so many others: my children, my grandchildren, my students and the many choirs that I have led. I had so much fun leading choirs at church and helping young voices sing their praises to God. I wish I could still sing. I want to sing. There is so much that I want to do. There is too much yet for me to do. I have so many unfinished projects. Now, I am unable to even sit up without rolling over sideways. I think, I try to talk; but nothing comes out. What is that song? Norman is singing me a song. I should know what it is. âLet me call you sweetheart, Iâm in love with you.â He is singing me a love song from our courting days. The song actually came out about eight years before we met. Leo Friedman wrote the music. It was a bestseller for many years. I know all of these details. Music is my life. At least, it was. [more] |

Excerpt: |
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada â Autumn, 1981 âJoseph Alon Tomah, what are you doing?â Aunt Eloise called out back. As she leaned against the door to prop it open, she rubbed the small arch of her lower back. She had to admit that she was starting to feel the aches and pains of her age. She really could not complain. She had turned seventy this year. She had outlived everyone else in the family. Her sister had died in Paris, along with her husband, just as the Germans marched into the city and took what they thought was theirs by right. Her own husband had died shortly after the war, leaving her a widow. She and her husband had not been blessed with children. When her older sisterâs daughter, Adina, arrived from Germany at the beginning of the war, the couple had taken on the role of parenting her niece. She knew that her husband would have liked to raise a boy, but unfortunately, Adinaâs twin brother, Alon, had died before the ship reached port in Halifax. Adina, too, was dead, recently taken tragically, along with her husband, when their station wagon had careened off a cliff onto the sandy banks of the Bay of Fundy. Joseph was their only child. Adina had married in her late thirties. She had thought she was long past childbearing age when Joseph came along. It had been difficult carrying and then raising a child, especially a first child, in her early forties. Joseph, like any child, had never thought of his parents as old. Or, perhaps he did, in that timeless way that all children perceive adults as having existed in an age long before the dinosaurs. âJoseph Alon Tomah,â she called again, louder this time, but still eliciting no response from her nieceâs son. She shook her head sadly. Oh, how she wished it had been her in the car rather than Adina. Her niece still had so much to live for and, now, sadly, it was Eloiseâs job, once again, to raise a child that was not her own. Eloise was Josephâs only living relative. She had taken to calling him Joe. She couldnât erase from her mind the other Joseph, her brother-in-law, Adinaâs father. The younger Joseph didnât seem to mind being called Joe. At least, if he did, he never let on. If Joe ever considered his parents as old, he must consider his great aunt as ancient. His ancestry dictated deep respect for all of his elders. After all, Joe was part Miâkmaw and very proud of it. His father, John Tomah, was from the Bear River Muin Sipi ancestral group. Joe was proud of his Miâkmaw heritage, perhaps too proud. He had balked at leaving his home, at coming to live in Halifax, to live with his aging great aunt, a white woman at that. [more] |
