Lee Kvern''s much-anticipated new collection contains stories which revolve around humanity in all its flawed glory: an artist''s girlfriend dies by mistake; a mother holds surveillance on her son''s foray into drugs; a sibling''s jealousy toward her sickly brother; a father''s death; a mother''s fear for her unbridled, grade-two son; a woman with a hijab in the mordern world of Save-on groceries. An arborist, his wife and a Shar-Pei are in need of an attitude adjustment; a dying senior looks back over her life, her children, her lost love; RCMP and prostitutes come for tea on a Wednesday afternoon.
High Heels for Ken Veals is a coming-of-strength-story about a rowdy tribe of young sisters in a small Alberta town. Their life is influenced by the an adjoined RCMP barracks, and their daily routine is influenced by babysitters, goat-soft sweaters, constable crushes, and beefsteak tomatoes. Living in this small town, each girl-in-the-making must decide who she wants to be.
