Born just months apart, Kenny Rennell and Linda Celli had no idea their lives would eventually intertwine as they grew up on streets perpendicular to each other during the fifties. Linda was sheltered, lacked independence, and had strict parents. Kenny was street wise, cared for his sisters, and was self-sufficient. When their paths eventually crossed on the front porch of Kenny’s next-door neighbor, they were initially friends—until a significant moment years later when sparks flew. In a touching memoir, Linda shares snapshots of the various phases of their life together from their first date, to their eventual marriage and birth of their children, the founding of a business, and her determination to carve a new path for herself. While sharing insight into how they created a calm and loving life together, Linda reveals how she and Kenny worked hard to live the American dream and be happy while fulfilling their bucket list, embracing every adventure, and proving that resilience always pays off. Included are poignant reflections from their children and grandchildren. Down the Road is the true story of two high school sweethearts as they built a family business and endured life’s challenges.

The walking dead. A global crisis. The remnants of America. Around the globe, the dead are rising to devour the living. Hospitals are overrun, and martial law has been declared. The streets are in chaos. Society is disintegrating. In a small south Texas town, the mayor has rallied his citizens against the living dead and secured their borders. Isolated in the countryside, the community holds their own. But when two strangers from San Antonio stumble into town, they bring news of a global peacekeeping force sweeping toward the city. Led by a ruthless commander, the force is determined to secure the republic of Texas on its own terms, and establish a new, harsh government for the plague-ravaged nation. Will the independently fortified Texas town hold out against the flesh-eating zombies and the tyrannical foreign army traveling down the road?

With a unique blend of candour and humour, Down the Road Never Travelled chronicles the arduous journey Brigitte Pellerin and her fellow researchers undertook in their attempts to track a tax dollar through one government spending program. Imagine coming home one evening and announcing to your significant other that the only way to truly understand how government worked was to study it from the ground up - to literally look into the sewer lines, leaking water mains, pothole-ridden roads and collapsing bridges of Canadian cities. This was Pellerin's goal when she embarked on an investigation of the Canada Infrastructure Works Program (CIWP), a government initiative that promised to repair the country's crumbling infrastructure and create jobs for Canadians. The task, Pellerin believed, would be relatively easy: to determine whether the government did what it said it would under this program. How hard could that be? As it turned out, it was nearly impossible.
