Michael Riordon celebrates the survival of ordinary, extraordinary people whose experiences are rarely reflected in the media. These stories of courage and humour were gathered in the course of two years and 27,000 kilometres of travel, and some three hundred in-person conversations.
Riordon is a charming guide on these travels through Canada. Extremely evocative.

There are important lessons in these tales for all of us.
