In A Sure Connection the author contemplates the connections that matter, and that confirm we matter—connections with others and with our real or re-imagined selves. Through portraits of faith, family, nature, mortality and ordinary life, the work affirms resilience and resolve with clear, rich language seasoned with a wry twist, ensuring an engaging read. With many pieces set in British Columbia—from the sub-boreal plateau to the coastal rainforest—A Sure Connection evokes a sense of attachment to place that is as personal as it is universal.
