      "After her mother's sudden death, Karen finds herself back in her childhood home in Nova Scotia for the first time in a decade, acting as full-time caregiver to Kelli, her older sister. Overwhelmed with grief and the daily needs of Kelli, who was born with a developmental disability, Karen begins to feel consumed by the isolation of her new role. On top of that, she's weighed down with guilt over her years spent keeping Kelli and their independent-to-a-fault mother, Irene, at arm's length. And so when Trevor--one of Kelli's support workers--oversteps his role and offers friendly advice and a shoulder to cry on, Karen gratefully accepts his somewhat overbearing friendship. When she discovers how close Trevor was to Irene, she comes to trust him all the more. But as Trevor slowly insinuates himself into Karen and Kelli's lives, Karen starts to grasp the true aspect of his relationship with her mother--and to experience for herself the suffocating nature of Trevor's "care.""--

      Watching You Without Me
    • Alle sehen im massigen Gordon Rankin einen Schläger und Rowdy: seine Klassenkameraden, sein Hockeytrainer und vor allem sein Vater Gordon senior. Obwohl er sich selbst ganz anders sieht, versucht Rank mit einem gewissen Ehrgeiz, sienem Ruf gerecht zu werden. Nach einem schrecklichen Unfall, bei dem er eine entscheidende Rolle spielt, taucht er unter. Aber fast zwanzig Jahre später muss Rank erkennen, dass ausgerechnet der einzige Mensch, dem er seine Sünden beichtete, einen Roman über ihn veröffentlicht hat. Zutiefst erschüttert muss er diesen Verrat verkraften und sich der tragischen Geschichte seines Lebens stellen, vor der er immer geflüchtet war.
