Her Mother’s Daughter Sisters Bay and Tansy grew up side-by-side in Louisbourg, Cape Breton, but were complete opposites. Bay, a quiet homebody, stayed in Louisbourg and lived with her mother and her daughter, Ashley. Alone ever since she was widowed at a very young age, Bay’s closest thing to a love interest is her friend Dermot, who has been trying to break through her barriers for years. Wild, beautiful, restless Tansy, on the other hand, left town suddenly as a teenager and stayed away for years, even when Bay and Tansy’s mother died. Her life has been glamorous, luxurious, and lonely. And now, Tansy is home. Home, and unwittingly falling in love with her sister’s almost-boyfriend. Home, and befriending Ashley when all Bay can do is fight with her now-teenage daughter. Home, and desperately hiding the real reason she fled all those years ago. When Ashley becomes pregnant, the sisters draw closer together in order to help her. But the closer you dare, the harder it is to keep secrets, and when Tansy’s darkest secret comes to light, it threatens to shatter what’s left of her family forever. Complex and heartwarming, Her Mother’s Daughter is an exploration of family and friends and the tangled skeins of love, mistakes, and secrets twisting between us all. Includes a reader’s guide and interview with the author.
Shoot Me In the words of her psychology student daughter, Elsie Brooks is an enabler. She mothers everyoneher social work clients, her husband, her twenty-something daughters, and her reclusive sister who lives in the attic. Elsie is committed to taking care of everyoneeveryone but herself. So, when crazy Aunt Hildy writes to demand a bedroom in their Halifax home, Elsie cant help but say yes. When Hilda arrives, she enchants and enrages the family with her moxie. That and her proclamation that she has hidden treasure in the house and the kings ransom will go to whoever loved her most. When someone threatens Aunt Hildy, she responds with her trademark sass: Go ahead. Shoot me. I dare you. Whoever it is takes her up on it. Suddenly, the house is turned topsy-turvy as Elsies family searches for a treasure that Elsie doesnt believe even exists, and for a killer that could be any one of them. Shoot Me is a funny and sometimes heart-wrenching story about family, fortune, and figuring out who you are and who you love. In Elsie, Crewe has created a character who speaks with humour and honesty to conflicts that exist in the lives of so many women: between work and home, between loving one man and wanting others, and between feeling fulfilled not only as a wife and a mother, but as a woman.
