À propos de cet audio
In Scarborough, a low-income urban neighborhood, three kids struggle to rise above poverty, abuse, and a system that consistently fails them. The adults in their lives either rise to the occasion or fall by the wayside; together, they make up a troubled yet inspired community that refuses to be undone.

Everything about Lilah Stohler is dark: her clothes, her mood, and her outlook on life and death. That last part is important because Lilah’s father has just retired and left her in charge of Stohler’s Funeral Home. But Abel Stohler knows his daughter’s comfort level rests “downstairs”, so he hires one Sparkle Lee Sink to help Lilah manage the living part of the business of death. Sparkle is everything that Lilah isn’t—an empathetic marketing whiz who is a true people person.

More bodies have washed up on the shores of a small island. Another overfilled, ill-equipped, dilapidated ship has sunk under the weight of its too many passengers: Syrians, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Palestinians, all of them desperate to escape untenable lives back in their homelands. But miraculously, someone has survived the passage: nine-year-old Amir, a Syrian boy who is soon rescued by Vänna. Vänna.

Thelonious "Monk" Ellison's writing career has bottomed out: his latest manuscript has been rejected by seventeen publishers, which stings all the more because his previous novels have been "critically acclaimed." He seethes on the sidelines of the literary establishment as he watches the meteoric success of We's Lives in Da Ghetto, a first novel by a woman who once visited "some relatives in Harlem for a couple of days."

Willis Wu doesn’t perceive himself as a protagonist even in his own life: He’s merely Generic Asian man. Sometimes he gets to be Background Oriental Making a Weird Face or even Disgraced Son, but he is always relegated to a prop. Yet every day he leaves his tiny room in a Chinatown SRO and enters the Golden Palace restaurant, where Black and White, a procedural cop show, is in perpetual production. He’s a bit player here, too, but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy - the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. At least that’s what he has been told.

Relatable representation!
I was wary of this book at first because I read other reviews that made me think this was a “bashing white ppl” book. In my black a** opinion, it is not a bashing book. Its stories about people of different cultures feeding into stereotypes... hopefully it’s to show us just how foolish those stereotypes can be when you don’t know a person’s whole story. The characters feel like imperfect people trying to get through their lives without the leg up they deserve. Many of the stories are similar to real life events that happened to me, friends and family. I didn’t grow up in Scarborough (west end 4 life! lol) but it felt like an ode to being raised in a multicultural city that didn’t treat us very friendly, while also showing me what my fellow ppl of colour might have been suffering. I appreciate Hernandez for this book. I wasn’t always a fan of her narration and rated it “okay”.

Phenomenal- story and narration.
This story affected me viscerally. I sobbed gut wrenching sobs. I felt rage at the injustices that I know are all too real and not just contained in the pages of the story. I floated away on the love and determination. The narration was exquisite- it had life and depth. I am recommending this book to everyone. A must read.

Great stories.
Ms. Hernandez has written a wonderful book packed with stories that portray a slice of the Toronto borough that often is portrayed as less than a desirable place to live in. The stories reflect a multicultural reality often hidden from the rest of us who are oblivious or indifferent to those whose needs are varied and constant. It is a book that strikes a balance of sad and happy stories. Recommendable.

I was hooked from the begging and never last interest for a second! I am in love with this book and the author. Everyone should read this book in order to investigate where we are judging others and ourselves and start to unearth it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

One of the best books I've devoured.
Catherine Hernandez is an incredible author. It was an honour to listen to her words. This book examines structural and social determinants of health and wellbeing in a nuanced and accessible way. It was powerful to listen to Scarborough while driving on the 401.

Beautiful and gut wrenching
I wasn’t prepared for how viscerally this gorgeous book would affect me! Living in the GTA, the roads and neighbourhoods were familiar to me and this added to the poignancy of the people and their stories. One one level I was saddened and teary for their trauma and the havoc it wreaked but on the other level I was smitten by the scrappiness and tenacity and all of the loveable and unloveable-ness of each and every soul. There is uncensored language and blunt descriptions of the challenges of poverty, child abuse, and what it can mean to be a sex worker, a nail aesthetician, a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, an Islamaphobe, a Native American, a parent lacking the appropriate and necessary resources and the communities and outreach centres that they live amongst. These desperate situations and the people surviving against incredible odds could be neighbours of many of us and makes me feel shame for feeling compassionate but not actively doing more, volunteering more, keeping my eyes and heart open more. Please don’t get me wrong; there is sadness but also incredible joy. I bawled my eyes out but just as often because of happiness as of grief. Ms. Hina (Heena?) and Laura will be embedded within me for ages. Please absolutely read!

Well written and true to life.
A story of poverty and hope. The reality of life for some in the big city. We shouldn't forget that children are suffering even in a well off country like Canada.
