ZOE FITCH is a writer, musician, yoga enthusiast, and bread baker in St. Stephen, NB, where she does not have goats or chickens (yet), but where she does have a niece named Sophie, who is not a crossword setter and farmer (yet), but who does love animals, sarcasm, and solving problems. "...intricate, mythic, funny...In a time when divisions are rife in our communities and debates and opinions are getting us nowhere, we need multidisciplinary artists like Zoe Fitch." JOEL MASON author, researcher, and founder of DEAR DEAR Consultancy "Zoe has a sense of what NB needs right now. [This] novel is remarkable and her vision... speaks to our collective need for gatherings, for sharing story, and creating a new kind of economy; fit for the 21st century and its challenges, but tapping into ancient roots and ways of celebrating life together." MARGARET ANNE SMITH poet, fiber artist, speaker, professor
