Looking for the perfect meaningful gift this Christmas, visit Indigo in Bayer’s Lake for your last opportunity to get “Seasons of the Heart” personalized by the author for your loved one. 💖

“This collection of stories, each based on a single photograph, is not a book to rush through. Each story asks to be given its time and to sit with you long after the chapter ends. In one particular story, Lana Shupe describes looking through her granddaughter’s eyes at the wonder of the world. The simple act of laying a picnic blanket on the grass brings everything you could possibly need to fill your imagination, letting you marvel at the magic of the living things that coexist around us and stand in awe of our world. It reveals a gift of innocence that the author never seemed to lose in her adulthood.
I think I know some lucky people who will be finding a copy in their stocking this year!”—Gaynor in Calgary

Some letters you keep forever. This will be one of them.

Today I received a beautiful handwritten letter from Lana Shupe, sharing her thoughts about her experience working with me on “Seasons of the Heart”.

Her words meant so much. And knowing she had taken the time to sit down and write them by hand made them even more special.

As a publisher, I put a great deal of myself into the books I help bring into the world. To hear what that care meant to an author is a gift in itself.

Thank you, Lana, for trusting me with your stories—and for giving me something I will treasure long after the excitement of launch day has passed. 💖
