“I not only lost track of where I was, but I lost track of time. I don’t remember being afraid or worried.” A sense of curiosity and trust runs through Linda Brierly’s Edge of the Ledge: A Memoir of Adventures Lived and Lessons Learned (Friesen $25.99), a reflective account of a life shaped by travel, faith and cross-cultural experience. A nurse and longtime globetrotter, Brierly recounts journeys alongside her husband Bill, from remote living in British Columbia to community development work in Guatemala, where they co-founded a non-profit supporting the Pokomchi people. Blending personal narrative with spiritual reflection, Edge of the Ledge explores risk, resilience and the search for purpose across cultures and landscapes. 9781038340641
