"I loved In Search of Puffins, I didn't want it to end. Marjorie's story is heartfelt, intimate, honest, and delightful. I was so inspired by her determination to find joy in life after such a devastating loss. It made me cry, laugh, and it left me feeling uplifted and hopeful."

Nova Scotia is the cradle of an African Canadian community that has existed for hundreds of years. During that time, Black Nova Scotians have shared triumphs and tragedies similar to those other communities of colour in North America, yet they have also developed a culture that is unique.
