About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
Mixed Messages by Judith Lapadat is a startling new collection of poems. Lapadat uses imagery rich with colour and sound to explore the underbelly of grief and loss, and to learn to cope with the suicide of her husband.
With honesty and courage, Lapadat confronts her reactions to her husband's death and the challenges of raising her children alone. Despite tremendous obstacles, she survives to recount her struggles and triumphs. For those who love poetry and those who have dealt with the tragedy of losing a loved one, Mixed Messages will prove a moving testament to life, love, and the tenacity of the human spirit.
