        Y avait-il des limites si oui je les ai franchies mais c'était par amour ok

        by Michelle Lapierre-Dallaire

        WERE THERE LIMITS IF SO I CROSSED THEM BUT IT WAS OUT OF LOVE OK? In this uncompromising work of autofiction, the author attempts to reconcile herself to a world that endlessly denies her voice, her femininity and her trauma.  Summary Michelle’s life starts in early childhood with unspeakable abuse that will haunt her into adulthood.  The narrator suffers from borderline personality disorder, which blurs the line between excessive behaviour and hypersensitivity, revealing a woman furiously attached to the need to love and be loved.  The first book by Michelle Lapierre is disarmingly, unsettlingly frank. A rare incursion into the borderline psyche, Were There Limits… features a kaleidoscope of barely bearable scenes and luminous reflections on mental illness, family, romantic relationships—told in breathtakingly beauty prose.  *** French sample : https://flipbook.cantook.net/?d=%2F%2Fwww.entrepotnumerique.com%2Fflipbook%2Fpublications%2F111787.js&oid=255&c=&m=&l=&r=&f=pdf See other PDF for English sample.

        Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe

        by Bonnie Henry and Lynn Henry

        Dr. Bonnie Henry, “one of the most effective public health figures in the world” (The New York Times), earned accolades in 2020 for her consistent, calm, empathetic, and science-based public health strategy in the face of COVID 19, embodied in the phrase “Be kind, be calm, be safe.” This is the story of the four key weeks in spring during which British Columbia flattened the curve while other places struggled, and of the challenging weeks in summer when the infection returned with a vengeance.   This is not only a medical story; it's a personal story punctuated by moments of gravity and grace. Public health officials are required to make personally agonizing decisions in the face of incomplete information and competing health priorities; we glimpse the private deliberations behind policies that affect millions. This is a universal story about how we make decisions (and who makes them) in times of great upheaval; the nuances of communication, leadership, and public trust; the balance between politics and policy; and what and whom we value, as individuals and a society. It's also about Henry’s deceptively simply slogan, and what it requires from all of us to “be kind, be calm, be safe.”

        We Were Dreamers

        by Simu Liu

        This is Simu Liu’s superhero origin story.   Weaving together the narratives of two generations in a Chinese family who are inextricably tied to one another even as they are torn apart by deep cultural misunderstanding, We Were Dreamers traces Liu’s unlikely journey from Harbin, China to Hollywood within the context of his family’s immigration story.   Liu’s parents left him to be raised by his grandparents in China while they sought a future in North America. Liu was devastated when the father he hardly even remembered returned to take him away from the only home he ever knew; culture gaps, racism, and wildly conflicting definitions of success made it difficult to become a family.   Ultimately, it's Liu’s singular determination to make his dreams come true agai nst all odds that not only leads him to succeed as an actor but also opens the door to reconciliation with his parents. For by the time he is 30 – the same age his parents were when they immigrated – he recognizes that he and his parents have much in common, most notably their courage to dream, and to dream big.
