Book Signing, Saturday, May 5, 2007 Yes, Sister: Memoir of a Young Nurse

Author: Christina - Published 2007-03-15 22:34 - (1735 Reads)
Nineteen-year-old Donna Yates is ripe with idealism and dreams when she enters a grueling three-year training program under the supervision of the indomitable Sister Leclerc at Holy Cross Hospital, School of Nursing. But her dreams are soon challenged as she comes up against the shocking realities of resident and hospital life...

Under strict rules and exacting standards of the French-speaking Grey Nuns, Yates learns the true meaning of “vocation.” Holy Cross did more than turn out good nurses…it changed the lives of the women who trained there.

This coming of age story has a distinct subtext that cuts across gender, religion and politics.



"This book is beautifully written - and very engaging. It comes at an important time in our health care era..." Christina Manolescu

Donna Yates-Adelman will be signing copies of her book at Chapters in Pointe Claire, Trans Canada and St. John's Road. Sat. may 5, 1 - 4 p.m. More details at http://www.yessister.ca

Reservations: 514-284-3939

What does sex mean? Why do we have sex? Sex as lust, as love, as power. Sex as self-worth. Sex as self-destruction. Sex as status. Sex as failure. Nick doesn't know it, but on this Friday night he's working his way through all these positions. His past and future are coming together in the present: David

The Montreal Zen Poetry Festival, March 16th to 18th, 2007

Author: Christina - Published 2007-03-12 12:42 - (1272 Reads)

The Festival

“Words have no meaning” is the theme of the very first ever Montreal Zen Poetry Festival, an ambitious and enigmatic affair that will take off the weekend of March 16th to 18th, 2007.

Poets, translators, story-tellers, scholars, musicians, and Zen monks will come together to explore how Zen embraces a paradoxical relationship with language – a relationship which has strongly influenced both Asian and North American poetry movements.

The Montreal Zen Poetry Festival invites everyone, of all ages, to take part in the meaningful and entertaining line-up of events with our lively and thought-provoking performers and speakers.
