REVIEWS

"12 Books for International Women's Day," Kerry Clare, 49th Shelf, 2021

"Her Name Was Margaret: Life and Death on the Streets," Anne Thériault, Quill & Quire, 2021

"30 new books we can’t wait to get our hands on in the first half of 2021," Deborah Dundas, Toronto Star, 2021

"Former Hamilton Spectator reporter Davy tells the story of Margaret Jacobson, a homeless woman who battled mental illness and went in and out of the health care system until she died in a sub shop in Hamilton in the 1990s. Initially Jacobson and, later, her family, gave Davy access to her medical files and family history, allowing for that rare thing: a full biography of a homeless person, who is often nameless and faceless. Important."

"53 works of Canadian nonfiction coming out in spring 2021," CBC Books, 2021
