That’s Where You Were, Then
Judith Pond
Through wry and often absurd linked stories, readers witness the life of Jen, from her rough rural childhood in Nova Scotia, where she deals matter-of-factly with a younger brother with a disability, a baby sister, a depressed mother, and motley neighbours, to her adulthood in Calgary where she is an addictions counsellor.

The Signs of No
Judith Pond
This almost ghost story follows Rose, a middle-aged poet and teacher; Morrison, the divorced marathoner/anger-management counsellor she meets at an art show; dancer Abbey, Morrison’s ex and his marathon partner; and 10-year-old Iris, the daughter of Abbey’s new man. A missing daughter, a twin absorbed in the womb, a broken family – these are some of the losses, the sources of guilt and grief, that are explored in this intricate novel.
