He hates her button nose.\nWhen Millie Adams steps off the bus in Braggan Valley with two suitcases and a backpack full of daddy issues\, finding love is the last thing on her mind. She’s here for a fresh start in the mountains—a chance to focus on herself and keep the pain of her past at bay. But the universe seems to have different plans.\nEnter\, Caden Thompson.\nHe’s grumpy\, he’s arrogant\, and he’s six foot four. With dirt on his hands and a mouth to match\, he’s the lodge’s resident fix-it man—and Millie’s latest problem. His own wounded past doesn’t exactly make him the settling-down type. He keeps it simple: no strings\, no complications\, no promises\, and he refuses to let himself want for anything more. Especially not with a girl like her. Yet\, as the summer progresses and Millie tries to find her way in the Canadian Rockies\, fate keeps finding ways to throw these two together—forcing them to face their broken parts and let down their walls\, whether they like it or not… \nYou don’t want to miss this one! Reserve your spot here!

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Judy Stewart
DESCRIPTION:The Cochrane Public Library is thrilled to welcome back local Cochrane author Judy Stewart to the library for a warm and engaging author talk featuring her new book Enriched Childhood. This delightful memoir invites readers of all ages into the childhood of Jacquie\, who grew up on a rural Quebec farm in a large French Canadian family during the early nineteen sixties. \nThrough Stewart’s warm and vivid storytelling\, readers meet Mama and Papere and experience the antics that brought both laughter and tears to family life. Protagonist\, Jacquie\, and her siblings eventually leave the farm\, but the memories they created together leave lasting marks on each of them. As an adult\, Jacquie looks back on these moments with humour\, tenderness\, and a unique sense of perspective that follows her even into the rear view mirror\, where unexpected tailgaters seem to appear everywhere. \nThis author event is perfect for families\, readers who enjoy local stories\, and anyone who appreciates heartfelt tales rooted in family\, place\, and imagination. Come meet Judy Stewart\, hear the stories behind Enriched Childhood\, and celebrate the storytelling talent in our Cochrane community. \nEveryone is welcome\, no registration required.

She dives headfirst into the experiences many mothers have but few feel safe enough to say out loud—the lack of support\, the guilt\, the invisibility\, the cycles they’re breaking\, and the fantasies about a hospital stay just to get a flippin’ break. Libby untangles her social conditioning from learned trauma responses and discovers that letting go of unrealistic standards\, asking for help\, and prioritizing herself aren’t failures—they’re necessities. \nHonest Motherhood is a rallying cry for moms to let go of perfection\, choose themselves\, and give their kids what they need most—a mother who is present and whole. \nAbout Sarah Bessey: \nSarah Bessey is the bestselling author of five books including Field Notes for the Wilderness: Practices for an Evolving Faith and the New York Times bestseller A Rhythm of Prayer. Sarah also writes the popular Substack newsletter Field Notes. Living in Calgary\, Alberta with her family\, she writes from the ordinary rhythms of life with warmth and theological generosity. \n“Libby Ward has written the motherhood manifesto we didn’t know we needed. Read Honest Motherhood. Highlight it. Shove it into the hands of every mom you know.” \n\nJen Hatmaker New York Times bestselling author and host of the For the Love Podcast\n\n“A promising debut. . . .A vulnerable\, insightful\, and refreshing exploration of what it takes to become a good parent when you grow up with dysfunction.” \n–Kirkus Reviews \n“ Highly recommended…This memoir is sure to resonate with fans of authors like Brené Brown and Eve Rodsky and become a new rallying cry for a generation of exhausted mothers.”
