SUMMARY:Other Maps Montreal Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, Sept 29\, 2024\, 5:00-7:00 pm\n\n\n\nPlease join us to celebrate the launch of Rebecca Morris’s debut novel OTHER MAPS\, forthcoming September 14th with Linda Leith Publishing. Event hosted by Monique Polak. \n\n\n\nAbout Other Maps\n\n\n\nAnna Leverett is home for her dad’s retirement party\, counting the days until she can leave and sick of reminders that her life has consisted of wrong turns and dead ends. Then a meeting with her ex-best friend Helen raises unexpected questions: What really happened at that New Year’s party back in high school? How true were all those ugly rumours? With Helen at her side\, Anna can finally reckon with her past and chart a course towards a better future. \n\n\n\nA literary fiction #metoo novel set in early 2000’s Guelph\, Other Maps explores truth\, resilience and the ride-or-die friendship between two young women who will support each other at any cost. \n\n\n\n“Morris may steer readers outside their comfort zone\, yet her debut novel has grip\, the road rich with unexpected twists. Here\, friendship is a life-saving light on a young woman’s quest for truth in the aftermath of sexual assault.”— Kimberly Bourgeois\, Montreal Review of Books \n\n\n\n“A beautiful exploration of sisterhood\, memory and the stories we tell ourselves\, Other Maps is both timely and timeless. With a sharp eye for detail and a deep empathy for the messiest among us\, Morris gives us a friendship that you will never forget.”— Julie Lalonde\, author of Resilience is Futile: The Life and Death and Life of Julie S. Lalonde \n\n\n\n“Other Maps is a propulsive novel that explores just how fraught the lives of young women can be. From the dangers that plague girlhood to the uncertainties of adulthood\, Rebecca Morris beautifully writes how we reckon with our pasts\, fight for acknowledgement\, and stumble into\, hopefully\, better futures.”— Jen Sookfong Lee\, author of Superfan \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRebecca Morris is a Montreal writer. Originally from Guelph\, Ontario\, Rebecca taught high school before turning to writing full time. Her stories have won the Malahat Review Open Season Award for Fiction and the Humber Literary Review’s Emerging Writers Fiction contest. She is a Banff Centre alumna\, recipient of a Canada Council Arts grant and an active member of the Quebec Writers’ Federation. Other Maps is her first novel.
