Volume One: Elbows Up!","description":"What is wrong with the world when the disappearance of a single red baseball cap with an American political slogan on it-yes, one of those hats-can threaten the very existence of Canada? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet isn't there something absurdly fitting about the fact that, at the centre of this international crisis, stands a group of aging friends who meet once a month to discuss novels, drink too much wine, and (not always gently) dissect one another's lives? \u003cbr\u003eHaving met for more than twenty years, they call themselves The We're Still Here Book Club-a name perhaps once jokingly defiant but now an all-too-real challenge to the US president himself. \u003cbr\u003eThis ensemble of spirited friends-outspoken Muriel and practical Eleanor; kind-hearted Shirin and mystical Lumira; data-minded Deborah and convivial Brad; and the oldest of them all, steadfast octogenarian Audrey-find themselves forced to orchestrate not only the survival of their friendship but of Canada too. \u003cbr\u003eSet in the fictitious and picturesque Canadian-US border town of Brockton, Ontario, this unexpected tale is part sharp-edged satire and part tender portrait of aging, friendship, and patriotism. The We're Still Here Book Club. Volume One: Elbows Up! celebrates the resilience, and the occasional folly, of people determined to stay standing-elbows up, the Canadian way-no matter what fresh chaos the world serves them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4610623\"\u003eJeff Richardson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038362230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1038362237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC052000\"\u003eSatire\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC037000\"\u003ePolitical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC016000\"\u003eHumorous | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"FriesenPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46663357792395,"sku":"9781038362230","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_daf05ee2-9c61-4e77-9f8b-aa756333ac83.jpg?v=1776448291","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/the-were-still-here-book-club-volume-one-elbows-up-9781038362230","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
