About the Work

A novel about three girls who spend the summers of their adolescence in Northern Ontario.


Challenges in Canada

In 1989, two women in Alberta heard the author read a passage from this novel, which describes the sexual escapades of three female friends in Ontario’s cottage country, on CBC Radio. Thinking the passage obscene, the two listeners complained to the police in Edmonton. A few months’ later, after having listened to the tape, a detective dismissed the complaint.
