In her memoir, At One With An Island: Salt Spring Revisited (Mavorick Publishing $21.50) Gayle Mavor revisits Salt Spring Island, both literally and metaphorically, as she navigates midlife ennui and depression. Leaving behind her urban life in Vancouver, she finds solace in Moongate Cottage, where her new life unfolds among colorful island characters. From a crush on a qigong master to writing food haiku and caring for the elderly, Mavor embraces her transformative journey. Along the way, she learns that sometimes, it’s not a person, but a place, that can offer the healing and comfort she seeks. 9781778354267
