🎉 Happy Publication Day to Why Not Me by Lindsay Ireland! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating the release of Why Not Me — a powerful memoir that follows Lindsay’s journey from an autoimmune diagnosis at eleven to navigating life with multiple sclerosis. 💛📘

Told with courage and clarity, this book opens the door to the often unseen world of invisible illness — the quiet battles, and the strength it takes to keep going. 🌙✨

For anyone touched by chronic health challenges, caregiving, or resilience, this memoir offers understanding, compassion, and connection. It beautifully reflects our mission to give rise to brave stories that stay with readers. 💫

Lindsay is based in Halifax, and we encourage readers to support this brave story by picking up a copy at your favourite local bookstore. 🧡📚

🎉 Release Day! ‘Let Rise: Stories from a Small Town Cook’ by Adam Loo is out today!

We’re excited to celebrate the launch of Let Rise — a deeply personal memoir rooted right here in Prince Edward Island. From growing up on his family farm to launching his popular Charlottetown grab-and-go spot, .culinarystudio, Adam shares the real story behind building a food business with heart, hustle, and community at its core. 🍲🌱

In Let Rise, Adam reflects on the moments that shaped him: kitchen wins and setbacks, the realities of the culinary world, coming home to PEI, and the process of turning a vision into something that feeds people every day. It’s a candid look at entrepreneurship — not just the success, but the doubt, the loss, the grit, and the steady rise that happens when you keep showing up.

This homegrown PEI story is now available where books are sold. Pick up your copy and help us celebrate a local chef and entrepreneur whose work continues to nourish our island community. 📚✨
