Finalist for the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction (2014) Longlisted for the RBC Taylor Prize (2014) Alison brings her story to life with a skillfully light touch in this warm, heartfelt and revelatory memoir. SureShot Books Publishing LLC is part of the SureShot 2k family of companies that was founded in 1990 to help the families of prison inmates, by providing reasonably priced books, newspapers, & magazines. Alison’s father was a professor of political science and amateur choral conductor, her mother was an accomplished pianist and marathon runner, and together they had fed the family a steady diet of arts, adventures, mishaps, normal frustrations and inexhaustible laughter. NATIONAL BESTSELLER (The Globe and Mail) Over time, Alison came to see that life with her father was surprisingly interesting and entertaining, even oddly inspiring, and in fact, there was nothing to hide. Through extraordinary excerpts from his own letters and journals from the years of his coming out, we read of Joe’s private struggle to make sense and beauty of his life, to take inspiration from an evolving society and become part of the vanguard of the gay revolution in Canada. Balancing intimacy, history and downright hilarity, Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter is a captivating tale of family life: deliciously imperfect, riotously challenging, and full of life’s great lessons in love.
