The Last Labour of the Heart is the story of two lives intertwined in surprising ways, that in the end becomes a meditation on life and loss, death and hope. It follows the life of 92-year-old Lucille (Lou) Sutter from the death of her parents when she was a child through her long marriage to her final days in a nursing home.  The novel was inspired by the author's aunt who spent the final five years of her life in a nursing home. When it became apparent she could no longer live alone in her own home, the author and his wife helped her clear out the house she had shared with her husband for more than three decades -- a sad and daunting task.  The Last Labour of the Heart is a work of fiction which should come highly recommended to people in the health profession, particularly those charged with the care of the elderly.

Teddy can’t believe how fast his life has changed in just two years. When he was twelve, his father took off, and then his mother married Henry, a man Teddy despises. But Teddy has no control over his life, and adults make all the decisions, especially in 1959. Henry decides that Teddy should be sent to St. Ignatius Academy for Boys, an isolated boarding school run by the Catholic church. St. Iggy’s, Teddy learns, is a cold, unforgiving place something between a juvenile detention center and reform school. The other boys are mostly a cast of misfits and eccentrics, but Teddy quickly becomes best friends with Cooper, a wise-cracking, Wordsworth-loving kid with a history of neglect. Despite the priests’ ruthless efforts to crack down on the slightest hint of defiance or attitude, the boys get by for a while on their wits, humor and dreams of escape. But the beatings, humiliation and hours spent in the school’s infamous time-out” rooms, and the institutionalized system of power and abuse that protects the priests’ authority, eventually take their toll, especially on the increasingly fragile Cooper. Then one of the new priests, Father Prince, starts to summon Cooper to his room at night, and Teddy watches helplessly as his friend withdraws into his own private nightmare, even as Prince targets Teddy himself as his next victim. Teddy and Cooper’s only reprieve comes on Saturdays, when the school janitor, Rozey, takes the boys to his run-down farmhouse outside of town, the only place where the boys can feel normal fishing, playing cribbage, watching the bears at the local dump. But even this can’t stop Cooper’s downward spiral and eventual suicide. And just when Teddy thinks something good might come out of his friend’s tragedy, he finds himself dealing with the ultimate betrayal.

"Ask anyone what they love most about Winzer, and they seem always to tell you it's the people, the family and friends webbed around each of us. True. But for me the town is also, and perhaps mainly, the larger-than-life characters who ghost around in my imagination and my memory: rumrunners and prize fighters and elegant old ladies and one-eyed thugs and earnest well-meaning politicians and hucksters and hookers and crusty old editors. Many of them I remember meeting. Some of them I actually met." from The River The River is Paul Vasey’s tribute to a place he discovered by accident and loved over a lifetime. Chatty, anecdotal, personal and passionate, by one of Windsor’s most celebrated reporters and radio hosts, this meandering memoir winds its way around a river town whose sights and characters may never be fully charted: a Windsor that fired a reporter’s imagination, stole his heart, and eventually became the place he calls home.
