Luck, Grit and the Power of Love: 16 short stories - Paperback

by Joan M. Baril (Author)

Joan M. Baril is the author of The Art of Burglary and winner of the Kouhi Award for outstanding contributions to the literature of Northwestern Ontario.

These sixteen short stories are about ordinary people who face tough times, but somehow find a way through, either with luck or grit or the power of love.

Praise for Luck, Grit and the Power of Love:
"Joan Baril's writing always delights. But the stories in this book will also grab your heart, squeeze every emotion from it, and refuse to let it go. The people, the places, the situations will resonate with you and have you laughing one minute, holding your breath the next and finally possibly crying. Anchored in love, each story is a gem of its own." Sue Blott, writer and poet.

"Joan Baril, the master story-teller, has done it again! In this new collection, her sparkling wit, her insights into the human condition, her ability to weave time and place into another is just as good as her previous book, The Art of Burglary. Altogether a delightful read!" Ulrich Wendt, poet.
