Stories from around the world meet in these pages, just as the lives of the storytellers have converged in the city of Toronto.
Twelve new writers bring you to their homelands in twenty-four, short non-fiction stories—some haunting—some hopeful—all intimate—stories of life in Brazil, rural Ontario, New York, Korea, The Philippines, India, Spain, Cameroon, South Africa, British Guyuna and even in Toronto.
