BESIDE MYSELF
Energetic, funny, and a little too smart for her own good, Hally is a young, recently widowed theoretical physicist who finds herself alone on a sailboat in a small Vancouver marina — where she’s about to make her biggest discovery yet. Her first night on the boat, Hally discovers her husband Wade is still there with her, in more ways than one. Ever the scientist, Hally tries to make sense of it all, probing her inexplicable situation with intellectual vigour, wit — and a little help from Wade. A moving look at life, love, and the mysteries of the universe.

Miranda is a TV news producer with a wry sense of humour, who discovers — on a mountaintop near the little town of Jasper, Alberta — that she’s been ditched by her fiance on the first day of their Rocky Mountain holiday. And that officially launches one emotionally rocky road trip.
Rich and riveting, Defying Gravity explores the meaning of love, friendship, and the pure power of understanding what it means to be connected to the human family — even in the face of worlds that are ending.
