ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Janet Marsden is a resourceful girl with insatiable curiosity and a propensity for bending the rules. With a policeman for a father and a mother with the ‘Gift,’ her life in Thunder Bay is definitely not boring. But she and her friends discover that bending the rules can come with unwelcome surprises when they embark on a series of burglaries to snoop on neighbours. As she becomes a woman, Janet embraces her future—and yet the past follows her, unstable as a cloud, twisted as a labyrinth.
Full of humour and heartbreak, Janet’s stories are intimate coming-of-age vignettes about love, secrets, and social injustice. This collection will strike a chord with readers everywhere, and they’ll want to share it with their friends.
