Описание: Meghan is caught between the past and the present. Part of her lives in Arizona, part of her feels at ease in New Hampshire. When she returns to the lake of her childhood, she is alone. Both her parents are dead and she is widowed. But soon she does not feel alone. The community of Pawtuckaway Lake embraces her as they did Jack MacNamara, her father. She revisits much of what she left behind: work, love, places and old feelings. Does she continue to dig into her family story even if there seems to be pieces missing? As questions arrive concerning the unresolved disappearance of her grandfather, Wil MacNamara, Meghan must face some new truths. Those around her wonder if she had dug too deeply. Perhaps, some things should not be revealed.While Meghan unravels and cleans, her heart is also at a crossroad. She left someone back there on the lake years earlier. They are clearly still interested in her. And there is someone she never really noticed before. He too arrives on the scene. Will this time on the lake force Meghan to choose? As the story unfolds, Meghan enjoys the local community of Hampton Hills. She attends holiday festivities and plans Thanksgiving. She bakes for Halloween and puts out pumpkins. She looks forward to visits from her grandchildren. All the time learning about the past.The book moves between past and present. It reveals struggles and victories. As a community invites Meghan to become a part of their life, she is drawn back to a love she feels she left behind. Neighbors care and try to help. But she must follow her own heart. There is a bit of magic in the air and unforeseen forces. Past and present impact the present . The reader has to wonder if the past will win out. How will Meghan's search for the truth lead her to face some truths of her own?

Описание: Depuis 1967, ann?e du centenaire de la Conf?d?ration, de nombreux ?pisodes de crise politique et de difficult?s ?conomiques ainsi que les ?v?nements internationaux ont contribu? ? la transformation de la soci?t? canadienne et continueront de fa?onner son avenir. En tenant compte de ces diverses difficult?s et opportunit?s rencontr?es dans le pass?, ? quoi ressemble l'avenir du Canada? Dans R?fl?chir sur notre pass? pour aborder notre avenir, des diplomates, des politiciens, des chercheurs et des personnages en vue dans le domaine des droits de l'homme, dont Phil Fontaine, Micha?lle Jean, Ellen Gabriel, Paul Heinbecker, Bob Rae, Jean Charest et David Suzuki mettent en commun leur sagesse et leur exp?rience des ?v?nements qui ont marqu? l'histoire du pays au cours des cinquante derni?res ann?es. R?fl?chissant au r?le compl?mentaire ? la Chambre des communes du S?nat au Canada, ils examinent des enjeux cl?s comme la condition des peuples autochtones, les obligations impos?es par la Charte des droits et libert?s, la reconnaissance des deux langues officielles et les r?f?rendums sur l'unit? nationale. Les collaborateurs abordent aussi la transformation de l'?conomie dans un monde num?ris? et un syst?me plan?taire, le r?le du Canada sur la sc?ne mondiale ? une ?poque de tension croissante, le flot accru de r?fugi?s, les changements climatiques et l'incertitude entourant l'avenir de l'Arctique, la concurrence scientifique et culturelle sur le march? international et l'avenir de la d?mocratie parlementaire. Corrigeant les fausses id?es ? propos du r?le actuel du S?nat et donnant le contre-argument ? une r?forme radicale du S?nat, R?fl?chir sur notre pass? pour aborder notre avenir propose de riches perspectives et un aper?u fascinant de l'?volution probable du Canada au cours des prochaines ann?es.
