A fictional biography showing the difficulties surrounding family and social relationships in small-town Eastern Canada when one's in-built direction is homosexual. \"Although I felt relieved that things were now in the open, it took both my mother and I a bit of time before we were comfortable being around each other ... she may not have understood that it wasn't a choice I was making but rather an acceptance of what I couldn't change.\" Uneasy that something could happen to his parents on their trip to Europe, Richard decides to return home to northern New Brunswick with his friend Norman. During the twelve-hour odyssey, they reminisce about growing up in small-town, catholic Dalhousie, and share thoughts on their respective coming-out stories and their relation¬ships with their mothers. Richard's easy life in Ottawa changes when Norman's pre¬mon¬ition comes true. Charles Seems was born in Dalhousie, New Brunswick, Canada and has travelled the world. Charles is a teacher, writer, human resources manager and interior designer. He lives in Ottawa with his spouse Robert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Seems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1927032091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781927032091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Petra Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Charles Seems","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445888495871,"sku":"9781927032091","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db16140b-5772-4eea-b587-2c6979f31832.jpg?v=1777221314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-road-to-dalhousie-charles-seems-9781927032091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
