Walking the Labyrinth

The Calgary Chronicles, Book 3

By: Lois Cloarec Hart

Narrated by: Anastasia Watley

In this gentle, slow-burn, lesbian romance set in a small town in Canada, a grieving, over-fifty security expert finds she still has a lot of living—and loving—left to do.

Is there life after loss? Lee Glenn doesn't think so. Crushed by grief after the death of her wife, the co-owner of a private security company retreats from the world. But love doesn't give up easily.

Lee's old friend and business partner convinces her to take on what seems to be a minor, personal-protection detail job. The assignment whisks her far from home to rural Saskatchewan, where she is pulled from her darkness and pain by the fascinating characters around her.

Wrong-Way Wally is a shunned, small-town oracle, who counts as his best friend, Gaëlle, a woman who seems to have a deep personal connection to life beyond life.

Lee is shocked to find herself attracted to Gaëlle, despite the woman's exotic beliefs. But opening yourself to love also means the possibility of pain, too. Will Lee have the courage to try again after so much loss?

An uplifting, profound story of awakening.

Contains mature themes.

Hope at any age!

So few authors these days and especially in this genre tell stories about living, as an older person. It’s refreshing to hear an optimistic vantage point on grief and the possibilities that life has to offer, even in middle age. We aren’t dead yet and in fact it’s more likely, given the likelihood we have experienced loss and the complexities that come with having been around awhile, that having access to fiction that reminds us that it’s maturity isn’t something that inhibits living is refreshing.

Heartwarming and soulful

wasn't sure I was ready to see Lee fall for another woman, but it was so skillfully written, emotional and tender. Beautiful narration as per usual regarding Anastasia Watley. No spice, and it's the right choice for this story. Love, compassion, grief, spirituality and friendship.

Excellent

This is one of the best books I have read! The love, the story, and everything in between are breathtaking. This is one story that you could read and listen more than once.
Thank you!

Life’s Labrynth

Gail speaks of life and living is perfect balance as I see it.The analogy of the soul in relation to toddler or university levels was great! Best read in awhile!
