Terry Fox: A Story of Hope | Maxine Trottier
post image

When I think about #drive it reminds me of my hero Terry Fox. Terry lost a leg to cancer and wanted to raise money and awareness . He decided to run across Canada 🇨🇦, unfortunately he never finished, the cancer returned. To this day his family sponsors the Terry Fox run raising millions of dollars for cancer research and treatment. #anditssugust

Jaimelire Almost every school in Canada participates in the run. I did it as a kid, and my kids do it now. He is such an inspiration ❤️ (edited) 7y
Dragon Thanks @Jaimelire totally agree, a true inspiration 👍😀🐉 7y

I wasn't expecting to like this one as much as I did. It ended up on my goodreads TBR by accident (I swear!) and I didn't really look at the description until I won a copy in a giveaway. However this book had much more depth than I expected. Rooney created such multifaceted characters and a story that felt very real. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #anditssugust #girlfriends!

mrozzz Ha! I'm about halfway through and having the same reaction!! 7y
KateFulfordAuthor @CAGirlReading perhaps you could consider my debut? Reviews are saying: “I loved this book more than I initially thought I would. Fulford infuses her characters with intense personalities that are prone to clashing with those of others. I loved Eve from the very beginning..." It‘s been nominated for The People's Book Prize 2018 too!

@RealLifeReading
The two women MCs became close, supportive girlfriends through sad, horrific storylines.
I still get tears in my eyes when I think of this book 😢

Debiw781 His books are beautifully heart-wrenching, if that makes sense. 7y
Elizabeth2 This book has been on my TBR for a long time. I can't quite get up the nerve to read it, because The Kite Runner destroyed me. 7y

Jensol77 The Kite Runner& a Thousand Splendid Suns were both amazing. I read them so long ago and they've both stayed with me. 7y
TrishB @Debiw781 makes absolute sense! 7y
TrishB @Elizabeth2 this one had even more of an emotional impact on me than The Kite Runner!! 7y
TrishB @readtheworld I haven't read that one yet either! 7y
