Pizza for Two
Pizza for Two is Piers’ journey. Piers’ privileged
background has not prepared him to live with no job, hunger and the specter of
living on the street. When driving drunk he
killed four people in a crash. Guilt and remorse weigh heavily on his soul.
Meeting Nicole gives him hope. He works hard on every fronts to earn her love
and gain a measure of peace for himself. Tragedy transforms a somewhat dissolute youth
into a responsible man when Nicole hires him as a delivery person for the
flagging pizzeria she runs.
Nicole, who
has secrets of her own, is desperate to find a worker and hires Piers
deliberately not asking for references.
While Piers
takes on the task of developing a successful business, Nicole’s heart leads her
on the rocky road of love. When Piers helps her find the child that was forcibly
taken away from her, happiness is in sight.
The Magic of Music
Marina Standen,
a celebrated pianist, comes to the small town of Otter Lake to live with her
sister, Rochelle, to recover from a near-drowning after her car plunged through
the ice of a frozen lake. The accident left her comatose for several months and
now she suffers from amnesia and the haunting danger of suicide her doctors
warned her about. She refuses to believe them.
Trent Vargason’s seven-year-old daughter, Sophie, is blind following an accident that killed her mother and baby brother, three years previously. The child’s selective mutism is the result of the trauma she endured. Trent moves to Otter Lake so that Sophie can be near her maternal grandparents.
On Christmas Day Marina accompanies her sister to church. She has to refuse the pastor’s invitation to play for the service but eventually sits at the organ. Music springs from under her fingers, although she doesn’t know what she is playing. Her memory is just a blank.
On hearing the music, Sophie speaks for the first time since the accident, but immediately lapses into silence again. Marina agrees to give the little girl piano lessons, partly in the hope of relearning her own music. Sophie forms a close bond with Rochelle’s dog Kimnik.
Life in a small northern Prairie town is filled with human drama. Marina struggles to recover her memory. Trent, who harbors overpowering guilt over his wife’s death, vowed to remain faithful to her memory but is captivated by Marina. When Marina suggests that Sophie has some vision, life is turned upside down. An unpleasant and traumatic incident unlocks Sophie’s self-inflicted punishment. She had believed she was responsible for her mother and brother’s deaths.
As Marina makes progress in recovering her musical memory, can she ignore Trent’s love for her?

Northern Skies
Northern Skies is set in northern Manitoba, Canada.
The heroine, Mattie Spencer, is the lead biologist heading a vital Woodland
Caribou conservation project. As a Cree First Nation’s woman, she has to
struggle to maintain her position. When her colleagues are sidelined by an
accident, she goes ahead alone to do the essential survey of the caribou.
Josh Weaver is a helicopter pilot and CEO of his own aviation company. He takes Mattie into the land of the muskeg and black spruce where the caribou live. He also directs, with the aid of a manager, the hunting and fishing lodge belonging to his father. Josh has traditional values and his views and opinions are those of the majority of people. Events bring him closer to Mattie when they flee into the wilderness to escape from unexpected danger. We see him adopt a more open minded attitude.
Mattie battles to maintain her position in what many consider a man’s world. She is conflicted by her love for science and the traditions of her First Nations culture. Josh battles his domineering father who believes the world ends with fishing and hunting.
Mattie and Josh belong to differing cultures that often clash. Can they live with a foot in each world and still forge a lasting happiness?
