Kay's new novel, Between Two Worlds is available locally in the Shuswap and it is now available as an e-book.
​
At its heart Between Two Worlds is a love story.
The love between Bobby and Sally transforms both their lives. Their love of family, both the Settler and Indigenous, will carry them off on an adventure of great discovery, experiencing unbearable pain, but also great joy as truths are revealed.
The question is how far will Sally go, with Bobby by her side, to uncover the truth of who she is and where she comes from?
Between Two Worlds is the author’s contribution to Truth and Reconciliation with our First Nations brothers and sisters.
“A story that everyone should read.”
