What is your favourite New Brunswick book, and why?

The Sea Captain's Wife by Beth Powning.

When I was a kid I loved animal stories, and my favourite N.B. book was Red Fox by Sir Charles G.D. Roberts.

So far the highlight of my writing career was when I got a call from Nimbus telling me that they wanted to publish my book.
