Moving across generations and borders, Steven M. Silva follows the paths taken and not taken by those who came before him, asking how stories of movement shape who we become. With precision and emotional depth, these essays examine the lasting imprint of migration on identity, memory, and belonging. Silva writes with quiet intensity about inheritance and loss, about lives lived between cultures, and about the persistent desire to locate home in the wake of movement. Personal yet expansive, Flight Path Home reveals how individual family stories echo larger histories of resettlement and change. A meditation on origin and belonging, and the family migrations we carry forward—whether we choose to or not."--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1740274</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1740274</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Silva, Steven M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1740274026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Stories of Family, Migration, and Belonging</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771619080/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1574787274</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forbidden Fruit & Camo Boots]]></title><description><![CDATA["What happens when a Canadian comedian, a high-ranking military officer, and his gym-obsessed husband unite in what seems like a fairytale throuple? In this hilarious memoir, actor, comedian, and media personality Jesse Reynolds dives into an oh-so-modern romance that spirals into awkward threesomes, family drama, unforgettable road trips ... and even a custom-built Chihuahua fortress! As a self-proclaimed Brother Husband in a polyamorous relationship that made perfect sense--until it didn't--Jesse dishes on everything from love notes left on windshields to a near-death car crash with a side of perjury and the strange power of family colors (pink, yellow, and blue). A gay love triangle ripped from an episode of Riverdale, his story unravels into a labyrinth of heartbreak, loyalty tests, and unanswered questions. By the end, one question remains: What would you do for love-and how do you know when it's time to walk away?"--Publisher.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1740752</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1740752</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reynolds, Jesse]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1740752026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>2 Boyfriends Are Better Than None?</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781038348296/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1601490367</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unreliable Boyfriend]]></title><description><![CDATA[Unreliable Boyfriend is a book that only Chrystia Freeland could write -- about a globe-trotting journalist who covered oligarchs and then became a political leader; what she learned about power, international relations, and global trade from her years in government; and how the United States can be seen in revelatory ways through the eyes of a Canadian who had to deal with American chaos.Unreliable Boyfriend is a different kind of political memoir: a candid, deeply personal account of power, politics, and globalization from an unlikely insidera 5-foot-1 journalist turned Deputy Prime Minister who now turns her reportorial eye on her own life, her battles with authoritarians and plutocrats, and the fragile future of liberal democracy.  Before rising to the heights of Canadian politics, Chrystia Freeland was one of the first Western reporters to chronicle the rise of the Russian oligarchs in the 1990s. She spent decades reporting from Moscow, Kyiv, Washington, Beijing, and beyond, exposing how global elites and authoritarian regimes exploited economic upheaval while hollowing out the lives of ordinary people.  Then she crossed into politics herself.  Inside Justin Trudeaus cabinet, Freeland became one of the worlds most influential negotiators, helping broker trade agreements that united labor activists and business leaders, nationalists and globalists. At a moment of rising tariffs, economic anxiety, and democratic instability, she offers a rare insider account of how deals are really madeand how coalitions fracture when governments fail to deliver for working people.  Part political thriller, part memoir, Unreliable Boyfriend is the story of a globe-trotting journalist who brought the lessons she learned covering dissidents and oligarchs into the halls of poweronly to encounter a new generation of plutocrats, this time in the West itself.  Freed from the constraints of office, Freeland writes with unusual candor about leadership, ambition, compromise, a]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1721971</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1721971</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Freeland, Chrystia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1721971026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Insider&apos;s View of Dealing With A Chaotic Superpower, Plutocrats, and Other Complicated People</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668245903/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=O</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the Shadow of Eight]]></title><description><![CDATA[Collin Gosselin, one of the sextuplets from 'Jon & Kate Plus 8', breaks his silence to share the shocking story of abuse hidden behind the facade of a picture-perfect family.
