The loss of a beloved pet can be devastating. For many, they have been a full member of the family, caring and unconditionally loving, much more than a furry friend. We need to know whether they live on and can perhaps even communicate with us. This wonderful, page-turning book has the answers - and much more - told in down-to-earth language and often with humour. Glynis Amy Allen is an hereditary medium, guided in childhood by her Grandma Mac, the local Wise Woman, and she has had a lifelong close personal link with the animal world. Here, she tells many fascinating and evidential stories of animal survival after death, as well as giving compassionate guidance on how to deal with the grief of their loss. Not only this, Glynis also describes the amazing healing and psychic abilities of many different animals and teaches us how to invite their spirits to support us in our life journeys. Be reassured that your dear pet's spirit certainly lives on after their passing, and that you can reach out and connect with them again.

Jody has been a conduit for ghosts her entire life. Not only do they come to her for help, but at times she experiences what they feel when they die. This gift or curse comes at a high personal cost—especially when a child is involved. There’s not a man alive who is willing to compete with troubled spirits. Jared, a wealthy and determined high-powered P.I., has lived without love his entire life. In business if he wants something, he goes after it with a vengeance and is usually not denied. His life experiences have taught him that believing and trusting in others is a dead end street. But on one magical night Jared meets Jody, and they soon find themselves on the brink of falling in love. But will the spirits surrounding Jody relinquish their hold on her in order for Jared to stake his claim or will their love disappear in an ethereal puff of smoke.

From the earliest settler policies to deal with the “Indian problem,” to contemporary government-run programs ostensibly designed to help Indigenous people, public policy has played a major role in creating the historical trauma that so greatly impacts the lives of Canada’s Aboriginal peoples. Taking Back Our Spirits traces the link between Canadian public policies, the injuries they have inflicted on Indigenous people, and Indigenous literature’s ability to heal individuals and communities. Episkenew examines contemporary autobiography, fiction, and drama to reveal how these texts respond to and critique public policy, and how literature functions as “medicine” to help cure the colonial contagion.
