Halifax Stories

Dec. 1st, 1917 One. War. Fort George. That used to be my name. I had been an English war fort for the longest time. Now it was one of my real responsibilities as a proper city, after being properly founded as the Halifax Regional Municipality, to oversee the sea. It's been one hundred and forty years since then, and since I had been named the capital of Nova Scotia. Everyone else was overseas, fighting in the great war. I was one of the few who remained on our land. It was my job as the biggest port in the country to make sure everything at the shipyard ran smoothly. Cargo got in and out in one piece, the explosives that were meant to be shipped here came through safely. I was used to it, as it had become my life. And I wouldn't change it for anything. I don't remember much, but I remember pride.

With the aid of her Duck Tolling Retriever and a BFF from school, Tess hunts for clues and works to uncover information by stirring conversation. Meanwhile, equally inquisitive, her mother, Alice, is quick to catch her daughter's vibe for interfering. She also suspects that the investigation is really a distraction for Tess, who is fighting to accept that her beloved neighborhood is changing and worse, so is her family now that her older brother is a 'too cool for you high-schooler'. Regardless, the wheels are in motion. The truth may be shocking and danger is certain. But you can't stop change, even when your mom, with questionable comedic timing, is trying to run interference on the sideline.

Some thoughts about Halifax that I would like to share .

Ezra Wilson had a good life; a career he loved and a wife he adored. Sitting in the pocket of his existence, he felt content and thus blind to thinking that the future would be any different. Consequently, when hit with the cruel reality of devastating change, he freezes. Unprepared and unsure, he becomes stuck; incapable of seeing ahead and afraid of losing sight of what he had. Knowing he must make a move, his irreverently contentious sister bullies him into joining a morning coffee club. There, he meets a cast of colorful characters who actively work to pull him forward. Over time, their generosity and friendship help to transform his outlook on a life he never imagined. This, and a surprise memory that inspires him to create a very personal legacy project eventually restores his sense of purpose. It's a journey of rebirth, culminating in an achievement that celebrates the power of connection.

Winter, 1917. Dorothy never really thought that war would take her older brother, but like so many others before him, Ian enlisted and departed Canada in khaki, leaving Dorothy to care for the youngest Gaston, Charlie. The return of her employer's son eats away at Dorothy: why should he, the rich man's son, the spoiled brat, be back home sleeping in his bed while her brother sleeps in the muck somewhere in France or Belgium? Robbie Monroe isn't the brat who ran off for a great adventure. Nearly deaf in one ear and deeply lonely, he is a man struggling to put his life back together after his time "over there," and Dorothy seems to be the only one he can talk to. She doesn't want to trust him but she can't help it, and Dorothy soon finds herself with something she didn't realize she desperately needed: a friend. Before the war's end, fate has one final reminder for Dorothy that happy endings don't always happen in real life, no matter how much she tells herself they can. Set in in the weeks before the 1917 Halifax Explosion, Shadows May Fall is a non-traditional World War I romance.

Tess Wilson is at it again! Only this time, the Halifax tween is chasing a ghost from her mother's past. While her parents are in New York trying to enjoy a second honeymoon, Tess and her brothers are left home under the watchful eye of their Grandpa Lou. It's also Halloween! Angered that he has to ditch plans with friends to stay home and dole out candy so his grandfather can mind the revelers in his South End neighborhood, Tess's older brother, Danny, taunts her with spooky tales of a witch's den and dire warnings not to enter a notorious, run-down, backstreet passageway called Tin Can Alley. Naturally, Tess takes the bait. Under the guise of trick-or-treating, she seizes the opportunity to investigate the aforementioned and stumbles on to a crime scene that's been hidden for over 40 years. But when she learns the shocking truth that the victim was a child like herself, anxiety threatens to thwart her investigation. Thankfully, she's not alone. With the aid of her grandfather; his rat-pack group of coffee drinkers; her quirky aunt Izzy, gifted in the art of séance; and of course, her BFF, Chucky, Tess works to unravel the mystery, which also includes stolen church money, a tragic suicide and a spiteful pigeon lady. Meanwhile, Tess's mom, Alice, is fighting her own demons south of the border. As she follows her daughter's investigation from afar, she's haunted by memories of her own childhood. Flashbacks to Tin Can Alley and horrific images of bearing witness to a murder keep popping up in the most unlikely places. And while Tess's dad, Sam, tries to run interference to his wife's mania, it's a losing fight when all Alice wants to do is return home and put an end to the madness that has brought them all to a dead end.
