| Publisher Description: This high-quality anthology for charity features entertaining short fiction, fascinating memoirs and articles, and thought-provoking poetry by 51 talented BC writers, depicting experiences, real and fictional, from the '50s to today, throughout the Interior of British Columbia, Canada. This anthology of multiple voices includes stories about challenging experiences in remote areas, encounters with BC's deer, bears, moose, wolves, and other wildlife; harrowing experiences with forest fires; pulse-pounding adventures; humorous people-watching stories; touching childhood memories; coming-of-age tales; stories about relationships and family bonds; and funny-only-in-hindsight true accounts. Interspersed with the fiction and memoirs are thought-provoking poems about various experiences in "super natural" British Columbia. All proceeds from book sales, after production expenses, go to Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders Canada (MSF). In this edition, all photos are in black and white.
