New Adult Fiction by Stephen Law
Tailings of Warren Peace leads readers through tendrils of the past, evoking memories and spirits that both guide and forewarn a man who repossesses gravestones, to a burial site in the highlands of Guatemala. The story is one of love, memory, the way the past haunts us, and the power of solidarity to save us.
Author Information

In 1998, he lived on the coast of Colombia in a region dominated by paramilitaries, providing accompaniment to Peace Communities. Since then, he has taken youth delegations to meet with Guatemalan activists and has engaged in campaigns that have exposed the impacts of corporate practices on communities in Canada and Latin America. He lives in Kennetcook, Nova Scotia with his partner and his two daughters.

Day of Caring is a unique opportunity for volunteers from workplaces that support United Way to participate in a team-building experience while helping a community organization. UPEI is excited to be a part of this year’s Day of Caring on May 31. Although departmental operations must take precedence, we would encourage supervisors of employees who are interested to allow participation in this community effort.
Interested employees will complete painting, repairing, landscaping, or other projects together and make a difference to a local community organization while learning about the organization and the United Way. Last year’s community organizations included: Milton Community Centre, Kingswood Centre in Montague and the Summerside Boys and Girls Club.
The day will start with breakfast at 8:00 am at Redshore and then teams will go to their project sites from 9:30 am-1:30 pm. Some lunch will be provided.
If you are interested in participating in this fun and rewarding day, please email kharrison@upei.ca by Wednesday, May 8.
Let's have a great representation from UPEI to show support for our local community.
