| Synopsis | |
| Canadian author Carol Windley makes her American debut with this exquisite collection of stories taking place on or around Vancouver Island. Windley's tales reveal how even the closest relationships between people are inherently woven with secrets, which can actually serve to tighten the bonds between friends and family. While many of her stories seem to begin with a related initial premise--those secret feelings we all disguise and nurture--each of Windley's characters eventually spins off onto a unique path, capturing the multitude of ways people deal with similar issues. | |

| Industry reviews | |
| "A provocative collection from a writer in complete sync with her characters." (12/01/2008) "HOME SCHOOLING] is the Canadian author's U.S. debut, a haunting book that deserves our attention. [Windley] is deeply in tune with her characters, their dilemmas, their petulance and the peculiar grace that allows them to accept, even sometimes to applaud, how far they've come." (02/22/2009) | |
