TODAY…. Saturday, May 30!

Come by the shop this afternoon between 1:00pm and 3:00pm to meet local author Chantal Patenaude. She will be here signing copies of her memoir, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

*****
“When memory fades, what remains?
After decades of working abroad, Chantal Patenaude returns to Canada and convinces her seventy-nine-year-old mother to relocate from California to Ottawa. She envisions a peaceful era of close-knit family life, but the dream quickly unravels.
Subtle lapses in her mother’s behavior soon culminate in a devastating diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (FTD).In an instant, Chantal is thrust into a profound role reversal, transforming from a long-distance daughter into a primary caregiver.
Navigating the daily; complex heartbreak of progressive cognitive decline, she makes a gentle vow: to make her mother smile during every single visit.
Moving, honest, and unexpectedly uplifting, It Is What It Is is not a clinical manual, but an emotional compass for the caregiving journey. It is a tender exploration of what is stripped away by disease, and a beautiful testament to the love, joy, and connection that endure.”

About the book:
“Earth is changing faster than anyone expected—forests burning, farmland turning to dust, and oceans swallowing coastlines, forcing survivors into overcrowded cities. To keep society from collapsing, the government issues some drastic measures, including a personal death date for everyone, to ration resources and control the population.

Norah, a journalist, learned to accept the policies, even if her death date is only two years away. But everything changes when she is given a personal reason to live longer, and makes a discovery that farming is possible. Norah leads a small group of resisters that want to change the government policies, and most importantly, her death date.

Balancing growing protests, clandestine farmers, and secrets and sacrifices amongst her family and friends, Norah is at her limit. Yet she refuses to back down, determined to continue to push for change—even if there’s no guarantee it will be enough in the end.”
