Squamish resident Jan Redford tells of her life as a nomadic rock climber, a mother, and a woman who risks all to win her future back in ‘End of the Rope.’
Julie Murphy looks at dating, summer camp, and the perils of being an overweight teen in the often humorous and heartbreaking teen novel ‘Puddin.’
