Moving Forward: The Journey of Paralympian Colette Bourgonje. By Mary Harelkin Bishop​

Picture
Description: In April 1980, with her high school graduation just around the corner, Colette Bourgonje was a small-town girl with big dreams. Her family’s home in Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan was already filled with her medals, trophies, and records of success in track and field, basketball, volleyball, and badminton. She had attracted attention from university coaches and was on the road to becoming a world-class athlete. Then a car accident changed her life – forever.
Before long, Colette had come to terms with her new reality as a paraplegic and had set her sights on new dreams. In 1984, she became the first disabled student to graduate from the College of Physical Education at the University of Saskatchewan and the first female in a wheelchair to graduate in Physical Education from a Canadian university. At age 30, she competed in France at her first Paralympic Games. During the next two decades, she travelled the world and became one of Canada’s most successful disabled athletes – a 10-time Paralympian, mentor, teacher, and role model in sport and in life.

Never Leave Your Wingman: Dionne and Graham Warner's Story of Hope.
​By Deana J. Driver

Picture
Description: "The Lord is not ready for me yet!" laughs seven-time cancer survivor Dionne Warner as she dances around in costume inside the Allan Blair Cancer Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan. Dionne and her fun-loving husband Graham have battled cancer head-on with laughter, joy, courage and hope since Dionne's December 2009 diagnosis of Stage IV cancer of the liver, lung and bone. They've made their way into chemo dressed as pirates (The Last Saskatchewan Pirates), cowboy and cowgirl (Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy), disco dancers (Disco Inferno), rock stars (Thunderstruck) and more! Along with conventional chemotherapy, Dionne has taken complementary treatments in Mexico, seen a natural medicine doctor and is on a special diet with supplements to help her fight the cancers. Dionne has shared her story with patients and cancer organizations including Relay For Life and CIBC Run for the Cure, and raised more than $50,000 for cancer research by selling cancer awareness merchandise through her "Little Shop of Hope". When Dionne was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2001 she told Graham, who was her fiancé at that point, that he did not have to marry her - she would return to her home in Toronto, Ontario. An experienced pilot, Graham quickly said: "You never leave your wingman." This is an unforgettable, inspiring true story and a lesson in love. 
$1 from every Never Leave Your Wingman book sold will be donated to various cancer programs.

Responses from Readers:
  • "Finished reading your book. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it! I am now going to re-read it slowly and do the exercises. I have always believed in angels and now I can try to communicate with mine." 
  • "Loved it! I have been waiting for a sign that would boost my confidence to do Body Talk or readings for people and relay what I feel the spirit world wants me to tell them. I will probably read this book many more times and will follow your advice with the practices."
  • "I loved reading all about your personal experiences getting started in this world. It's inspired me to start writing down my own spiritual 'awakenings'."​

 Rebuilding a Brick Wall. ​By Susanne Gauthier with Evan Wall

Picture
Description:  Evan Wall is a bright, mischievous, small-town “tough guy” from Shellbrook, Saskatchewan whose life changes irrevocably after a car accident leaves him with a traumatic brain injury. Having to relearn how to talk, eat, walk, and all other “normal” bodily functions, Evan no longer feels like the strong “Brick Wall” of his high school football days. With his coordination and speech permanently damaged, he must also deal with the new phenomenon of ableism and living in a world designed for able-bodied persons. Refusing to give up, Evan's wit and sense of humour hold strong as he reinvents himself and sets new goals for his future, inspiring and teaching others along the way. 
Recommended by Saskatchewan Ministry of Education as a teaching resource for Grades 11 & 12 English.
