Ottawa Tales

Ottawa Tales is a beautiful, poignant story detailing struggles, challenges, and hard-earned victories in a rare, frank, and honest look into another's life. The challenges shared are real, as is the mutual love of a family of choice built through heartfelt moments and experiences.

Jimmy is the younger self/avatar of the author (the reader gets to decide), who negotiates relationships throughout his 20's in Canada.  We have humor, hijinks, desperate lows, and true love, just not in a traditional boy meets boy story.  This is one of the most remarkably honest stories I have ever read.  I'm completely hooked into Jimmy's/Topher's story.

The tale of a young Jimmy, struggling to find his way in the world, cast off from his family. Watch Jimmy grow as he finds the courage to build his own family!

Thoroughly engrossing and captivating, this will be hard to put down, folks!!

Please read it and weep, read it and laugh, and read it and cry!

A raw  cinema-verite treatment of a period of time in the narrator's life when love and heartbreak were always just around the corner.
