Still Life with June

Winner of the 2004 ReLit AwardShortlisted for the 2003 Pearson Canada Readers' Choice Book AwardNOW Magazine Top 10 for 2003Cameron Dodds has just turned thirty. A writer, he steals ideas from others' lives, often borrowing stories from the patients of his workplace, the Salvation Army Treatment Centre. When one of the patients, Darrel Greene, hangs himself, Cameron sees an opportunity for a story — maybe even a novel. He begins to research Darrel's past, and decides to visit his sister, June, a woman with Downs syndrome. As Cameron develops a relationship with June and delves further into Darrel's past, he makes many discoveries, none of which is more surprising than the one he makes about himself.
