STORIES

Vancouver 

I was looking at the stand of totems in Stanley Park and was reminded again of my native heritage. This caused me to reflect on an incident told to me by Chief Dan George.

As a young man, he had just lost a finger in an accident and had to row across Burrard Inlet, then hike up a trail through trees to St. Paul’s Hospital for treatment. He remembered looking West from the hospital balcony towards the Burrard Street Bridge and seeing the sunset on nothing but more trees.

From my vantage point, I turned and looked across the harbor at a different kind of forest, one of skyscrapers, towers of glass and steel. So many changes.

Today, hundreds of thousands of people live here, having settled from all over the world. One family who moved to this thriving metropolis was my grandparents, John and Sophia Freeman, and their eight daughters.

I dedicate this work, entitled Vancouver to the Freeman family.

UBC

Museums have always been very special to me. It is in these magical places that I have come to understand what a wonderfully rich heritage we have in the art and culture of the Northwest Coast First Nations.

The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia was the place of my artistic awakening. It was here that I enjoyed my first large exhibition, appropriately called Beginnings.

Today, when I think of this setting, the image of the Haida Village comes to mind, and I am thankful to artists such as Bill Reid who have been a continual inspiration to me over the years.

This work is dedicated to our museums and the anthropologists, ethnologists, and archeologists who work in them and who continue to provide us with insights into ourselves.

Siwash Rock 

I was putting the finishing touches on Siwash Rock when I remembered a story from twenty years earlier about this famous landmark. I asked a friend, Ken, if he could remember the story.

Later that day, he presented me with a small book called The Legends of Vancouver by E. Pauline Johnson, which was the story I was trying to recall, The Siwash Rock. In the opening paragraph, Pauline Johnson said:

“...I saw it first in the slanting lights of a redly setting August sun, the littletuft of green shrubbery that crests its summit, was black against the crimson of sea and sky, and its colossal base of grey stone gleaming like flaming polished granite...”

I was amazed when I looked at the painting I was working on to find the similarity in the way we treated the same subject.

This, and other legends told to the author by Chief Joe Capilano, are worthy of being read over and over again.

I find a great deal of inspiration in them, but that is another story. This work is dedicated to the memory of Chief Dan George, who was a friend and source of great wisdom.

Capilano

The Capilano River flows to the sea at the entrance to Burrard Inlet. Fifty years ago, on the same day as the release of this painting, the Lions Gate Bridge was opened to traffic, connecting the north shore of Vancouver Harbour from the mouth of this river to the heart of the city itself. 

Standing in the moonlight and gazing under the bridge at the light of the city, I realized that despite all of the changes that technological advancements bring, there are some things that remain the same. The seasons come and go, and through these deep, dark waters, the salmon still return to the Capilano River each year to spawn. 

With this thought in mind, I would like to dedicate this work to all of the professionals and volunteers who have given so many hours to salmon enhancement programs in our province. Without their efforts, a major resource could very well be lost to us forever.

Another amazing book from a talented author
Format: Kindle
This is one of my favorite authors so I knew I would enjoy this book and once again, the characters seemed so real like people I knew personally. I very much enjoyed Daphne and Eddie’s relationship and I loved learning about Eddie and Daphne’s mother’s life together and why things played out the way they did. This book truly shows how people can impact us forever regardless of how long they were in our life. There was so much beauty in this book despite the loss and sadness at times. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Stunning Storytelling
Format: Kindle
Excellent. I read The Help on a whim all those years ago and was spellbound by the author's ability to weave a complex story across multiple narrators. When I'd heard that her second novel was coming out, I added it to my library wishlist as fast as I could. Then, the second I got word it was available, I couldn't help but immediately dive in... and, because her first novel made such an impression upon me, I had so much trust in the author's ability to deliver a story that I hadn't even bothered to read the blurb. Going in blind into the Calamity Club was a discovery! I was charmed, entertained, amused, and once again, spellbound by Stockett's ability to shift between narrators. One, a somewhat sheltered but very bright and kindhearted woman Birdie. And the other, a charming and very intelligent 11-year-old seemingly orphaned girl, Meg. But beyond this, her ability to weave together a story featuring the fringes of society, giving people -- women, of various walks of life -- a voice in an era where women might have the vote, but are still subjected to a variety of society norms, laws, and double standards, is still very compelling. I adored Meg, and I was so invested in seeing how things would turn out for her. And the strong female cast that Stockett features here only adds to the story's strengths. Having read a few comments here on length, while I agree the story is a little long and the try-fail cycle of getting the underground business off the ground may feel pointless for some, it didn't bother me and only served to showcase the strength of the women. There were so many characters in this book that one could examine closer, from the aching pain of Rory's story to the quiet pain of the accidental loss of someone struggling with emotional struggles and alcoholism to the desperation of destitution, and the lengths one might go just to survive. There's so much within these pages to mine and consider, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only critique is that I felt it ended so abruptly! I wanted just one further chapter, a glimpse of Meg's future... Still: an excellent read, and the Acknowledgements/Author's Note on the research involved in this one was one that made me think about how far we've come... and the direction of where we might go in the future.

Un-Putdown-Able
Format: Kindle
Wonderful book! It’s intriguing, heartfelt and funny as hell. There may be a few loose ends they are too easily wrapped up but honestly, it doesn’t detract from the overall impact of the book. I have to say that the story is enhanced by the Audible version, which is something I rarely say because I usually need to see the words in print. But the two readers of the book are superb and add a lot of depth to the characters. Honestly, if there’s a movie made of this book, I will probably be disappointed in the actors who portray the characters of Birdie and Meg because they won’t be as good as Jenna Lamia and January Lavoy who narrated this book for Audible.

Trying times in Oxford Mississippi in 1933
Format: Kindle
The Calamity Club features a cast of strong women and several weak men. The official charitable women are not charitable and the unofficial ones are courageous and are filled with good will. Stockett weaves a long tale of poverty, desperation, determination and sisterly love. Only two sets of sisters are blood related but those who are not, bond by working together for a common purpose. Stockett serves up humor and pathos in equal measure with a dash or two of realism. Her character development makes The Calamity Club well worth reading Like The Help, a screenplay should be forthcoming.

So Good!
Format: Hardcover
Some parts of this are reminiscent of The Help, but it is a brand new story. Even though it appears to be a LONG book (650 pages), it goes fast and is hard to put down. The story takes place in Mississippi in the 1930's. 24 year old Birdie travels to see her married sister in Oxford for the purpose of getting some financial help for her family. Her sister Frances married into a seemingly wealthy family, which for reasons that soon become clear, has now fallen on hard times. Eleven year old Meg lives in an orphanage and is treated badly by the volunteers that staff it. If her mom isn't going to come back and get her, then she wants to be adopted as soon as possible, but most people want babies, not older children. Charlie turns up at the house where Birdie is staying with her sister's family. She's bright and helpful, but what's her real story? How are they all connected? This story is at times hilarious and at other times heartbreaking. It has its share of villains, but most of the characters are likeable and you want them to succeed. Just HOW they succeed is the heart of the book, and I won't tell you and spoil the surprise. This is well worth reading, though, and I strongly recommend it.
