If you want realistic stories, told with insight, humour and compassion, about smart, adventurous, resilient Canadians from coast to coast to coast, Dorris Heffron’s novels are for you.
A Shark in the House portrays Holly, a Toronto dentist recovering from tragedy, who reluctantly goes to the 1990 Oka standoff in Quebec and gets involved with people on both sides of the barricades.
City Wolves is the story of Meg, Canada’s first woman veterinarian, who leaves Halifax in the 1880s to tend the Malamute sled dogs in their glory days of the Klondike Gold Rush. At the heart of the novel is the ancient story of how wolves became sled dogs in the Arctic.
Bear With Me is connected to City Wolves but is a contemporary story taking you, with wildlife photographer Clare from Ottawa, to the Alberta oil sands, hiking in the Yukon, camping on ice at the floe edge in the High Arctic, and family visits to Vancouver and St. John’s, Newfoundland.
