Why should we take these Irish American marauders seriously? Because Thomas D’Arcy McGee d ..read more

Mariianne Mays Wiebe’s “dreamlike debut” Kate Wake is “engrossing” with “compelling characters.” Kate Wake explores “… the history of mental health facilities in the early 20th century and Kate Wake’s experience within one.
