Story
Lily Litvyak is no one's idea of a fighter pilot: a tiny, dimpled teenager with golden curls who lied about her age in order to fly. But in the crucible of the air war against the German invaders, she becomes that rare thing - a flying ace, glorified at home and around the world as the White Lily of Stalingrad. The real Lily disappeared in combat in August 1943, and the facts of her life are slim, but they have inspired Lilian Nattel's indelible portrait of a courageous young woman driven by family secrets to become an unlikely war hero.

In a moment of self-absorption, Clara Purdy's life takes a sharp left turn when she crashes into a beat-up car carrying an itinerant family of six. The Gage family had been travelling to a new life in Fort McMurray, but bruises on the mother, Lorraine, prove to be late-stage cancer rather than remnants of the accident. Recognizing their need as her responsibility, Clara tries to do the right thing and moves the children, husband, and horrible grandmother into her own house - then has to cope with the consequences of practical goodness.

Life in Winnipeg didn’t go as planned for Knute and her daughter. But living back in Algren with her parents and working for the longtime mayor, Hosea Funk, has its own challenges: Knute finds herself mixed up with Hosea’s attempts to achieve his dream of meeting the Prime Minister - even if that means keeping the town’s population at an even 1500.

Story
Paul Davis is hearing some very strange noises in the night. He hears the clickety-click of a manual typewriter - as if someone is vigorously tapping the keys. The eerie sounds began soon after his wife, Charlotte, bought him a classic antique Underwood. But only Paul can hear the noises. Eight months ago, he stumbled upon Connecticut's infamous "Apology Killer" - a psychopath who forced his victims to typewrite personal apologies to him before he cut their throats - disposing of two mutilated bodies on Milford's Post Road. Most shocking of all, the killer was his colleague, someone he thought he knew.

Story
In the spring of 2006, Don Gillmor traveled to Whitehorse to reconstruct the last days of his brother, David, whose truck and cowboy hat were found at the edge of the Yukon River just outside of town the previous December. David's family, his second wife, and his friends had different theories about his disappearance. Some thought David had run away; some thought he'd met with foul play; but most believed that David, a talented musician who at the age of 48 was about to give up the night life for a day job, had intentionally walked into the water.

Not what I was expecting
The book is alright. The story line seems a little bit simplistic. Also the erotic parts of the book seemed unnecessary. It just okay.

Best Story Ever!
This book was captivating with non stop humor. I enjoyed every moment and each character. This should be a Broadway show, it would be a hit. I wished that it would never end. I feel in love with each Langston Cane and Mill. Thank you Lawrence Hill, for your wonderful voice and passion for life through legacy.

A stellar performance
I greatly enjoy the way Lawrence Hill combines historical facts with fictitious characters to portray life of a by-gone time. The narration by Kevin Free was superb and made the different characters come alive. He really has talent to match the authors! it is a good pairing, like Jim Dale for Harry Potter. In both instances, the narrator brought a colorful interpretation to the author's words ( although both Rowling's and Hill's stories are quite alive already!) To listen to Free's imaginative narration is an enormous delight! I am eager to read anything else Lawrence Hill writes. Lawrence Hill's writing has given me a way of facing more squarely the horrendous atrocities of slavery and bigotry. As a white person, I often cringe at reading about how my race thought about other races and am relieved that gifted writers like Lawrence Hill can create stories that allow me to better come to grips with history. We can't undo the damage that prejudice and bigotry perpetrated in the past, but we can admire those that have risen above hatred and are contributing so much good to our lives now. Thank you Lawrence Hill and Kevin Free. A great team!
