Chad Pelley Signing

Join us on Saturday, March 4 from 1:00-3:00pm to meet Newfoundland author Chad Pelley! He will be here to sign copies of his books Every Little Thing, Four-Letter Words, and Away From Everywhere, the last of which has been made into a film that will be having it’s Ottawa premiere at the NAC on Friday, March 3.

About Away From Everywhere:

“Brothers Owen and Alex Collins are brought together when mental illness claims their father and sets off a chain reaction of unrelated, heart-breaking events. Both tender and bold in its delivery, Away from Everywhere cuts no corners in telling the story of their crushing childhood, the reasons the brothers become different men, and the unthinkable act of love that tears them apart.
Part warped love story, part family tragedy, Away from Everywhere is a heart-stomping page-turner.”
