"It is the summer of 1955. Alexander, Tom and his sister Lennie, discover the body of their childhood friend Danny Masters in the river that runs through Starome, a village on the Richmond estate in North Yorkshire. His death is a mystery. Did he jump, or was it just an accident? Lady Venetia Richmond has no time to dwell on the death. Newly widowed, she is busy trying to keep the estate together, while struggling with death duties and crippling taxation. Alexander, her son and sole heir to Richmond Hall, is of little help. Just when she most needs him, he grows elusive, his behaviour becoming increasingly erratic. Lennie Fairweather, 'child of nature' and daughter of the late Sir Angus's private secretary, has other things on her mind too. In love with Alexander, she longs to escape life with her over-protective father and domineering brother. Alexander is unpredictable though, hard to pin down. Can she be sure of his true feelings towards her? In the weeks that follow the tragic drowning, the river begins to give up its secrets. As the truth about Danny's death emerges, other stories come to the surface that threaten to destroy everyone's plans for the future and, ultimately, their very way of life"--Provided by publisher.

Soon after the WHO declared a global pandemic in the spring of 2020, an Educational Assistant at Avondale Elementary recognized the significance of recording history. Her heart hurt, and she empathized with the fear and uncertainty, hardships and struggles many would face. She invited her coworkers to participate in a personal and school journaling project. A sensitive, creative heart enabled her to access and express her school family's vulnerabilities and successes, as well as her own. Together they relied on an age-old truth: "Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble." (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, NLT). Every Story Starts with Small Steps: Avondale COVID-19 Journal is a vulnerable, heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking glimpse into the experiences of a school community during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Karen weaves the stories seamlessly together, telling them with grace and compassion. Everyone who reads it will be able to relate to something in this book and will feel more connected and validated in their own experiences.-Kristina Black, Principal of Avondale School Thank you, Karen, for reminding me how incredible humanity is.-Rene SonnenbergNational Team CoachCurling Canada
