The mission statement of the Grimsby Author Series is to foster literacy in the community and to promote and celebrate Canadian authors and Canadian literature.

Tonight, they welcome Jane Urquhart.

From one of Canada's most celebrated and decorated authors comes the eagerly anticipated new novel Sanctuary Line. Set in the present day on a farm at the shores of Lake Erie, Jane Urquhart's stunning new novel weaves elements from the nineteenth-century past, in Ireland and Ontario, into a gradually unfolding contemporary story of events in the lives of the members of one family that come to alter their futures irrevocably. There are ancestral lighthouse-keepers; seasonal Mexican workers; the migratory patterns and survival techniques of the Monarch butterfly; the tragedy of a young woman's death during a tour of duty in Afghanistan; three very different but equally powerful love stories. Jane Urquhart brings to vivid life the things of the past that make us who we are, and reveals the sometimes difficult path to understanding and forgiveness.
