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
Married to a successful lawyer and mother to two healthy, well-adjusted children, she was living the life many people only dreamed about. She should be happy, her husband tells her. But she is not. The memories of her controlling and manipulative adoptive mother haunt her day and night and threaten to poison her numb, present-day existence.
As the protective façade she has constructed to insulate her from the pain and horror of her past comes crumbling down around her stable suburban life, she can think of only one solution: suicide. When her attempts fail, she must find other ways to cope with her daily routines or succumb to the voices that tell her she is unlovable.
Contributor Notes
From first-time novelist AmberLee Kolson comes a wise, gently humorous, and deeply compassionate novel about a woman whose efforts to recover the moments of a stolen life leads her on an unexpected journey with a result even she couldn't predict. We all know this woman. There is a little bit of her in each one of us. Of Chipewyan and Polish descent, AmberLee Kolson was born and raised in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. She is a graduate of both the University of Alberta and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. AmberLee one- act play, Snow Angel, won the B.C. National Playwriting Competition.
