Featuring excerpts from Terry's very own Marathon of Hope journal, Hope by Terry Fox shares the untold story of a well known hero - the goofy, resilient, and courageous 21-year-old who rallied a nation behind his mission. In 1976, when Terry Fox was just eighteen years old, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and his right leg was amputated just above the knee. It quickly became his mission to help cure cancer so others would not have to endure what he had gone through. He dreamed up a Marathon of Hope - a fundraising run across Canada, from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Victoria, British Columbia. 5,300 miles. When he set off on April 12, 1980, Canadians were dubious. But as he continued across the country, enthusiasm grew to a frenzy. Sadly, Terry's cancer returned, and after 143 days and 3,339 miles, he was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope. He passed away in 1981, but the nation picked up his mission where he left off, and the annual Terry Fox Run has even spread to cities around the world, raising more than $850 million to date - well over Terry's goal of one dollar for every Canadian. After conducting over fifty interviews with people throughout Terry's life - ranging from his siblings, nurses, and coaches to volunteers during the Marathon of Hope - editor Barbara Adhiya discovers how Terry was able to run a marathon a day. Through their stories, passages from Terry's marathon journal, and over 200 photos and documents, Hope by Terry Fox shows that with enough resilience, determination, humility, and support, ordinary people can do impossible things.

Thoughtful, wide-ranging essays exploring food as a source of pleasure, practical creativity, and sustenance Food is the primary way andrea bennett connects with the world. They worked in the restaurant industry for a decade, and though they don't eat much meat and can't eat gluten, they take as much pleasure in food as Jeffrey Steingarten, Anthony Bourdain, or Guy Fieri. When they want to show someone they care, they cook them a meal. The essays in Hearty offer a snapshot of the North American cultural relationship to food and eating. Hearty dives deep into specific foods, such as chutney, carrots, and ice cream, but also explores appetite and desire in food media, the art of substitution, seed saving and the triumphs and trials of being a home gardener, how the food system works (and doesn't), and complex societal narratives around health and pleasure. Combining journalism, cultural commentary, and personal reflection, Hearty follows bennett's curiosity into kitchens, gardens, fields, and factories, offering a compassionate and compelling perspective on food from seed to table.
