The North Side of Happiness
()
About this ebook
The lives of four unlikely individuals intersect in a most poignant way, bringing to each other—even in their darkest hours—hope, courage, and tiny bits of happiness. Shimi believes playing music to her homemade cheese enhances the flavour; Belladane, an eccentric LGBTQ2S+ Jamaican-born artist, paints with her breasts and loves speaking in humorous metaphors; Eddie, a wandering American veteran, finds that Prince Edward Island's red roads and sand-duned beaches soothes his PTSD; and Alice, a childless midwife, leads a life she secretly loathes. After one unforgettably violent night, Shimi must face the human condition head-on, with all its pain and immorality. Through the friendship of Belladane, Eddie, Alice, and her dear dog, Darcy, Shimi hopes to find a way to live her best life. First, she must learn that forgiveness starts with herself.
