Brothers Owen and Alex Collins are brought together when mental illness claims their father and sets off a chain reaction of unrelated, heart-breaking events. Both tender and bold in its delivery, Away from Everywhere cuts no corners in telling the story of their crushing childhood, the reasons the brothers become different men, and the unthinkable act of love that tears them apart. Part warped love story, part family tragedy, Away from Everywhere is a heart-stomping pageturner. This novel has been adapted into a film starring Jason Priestley, Shawn Doyle, and Joanne Kelly. Winner of the ArtsNL CBC Emerging Artist of the Year award. Shortlisted for the Canadian Authors’ Association Emerging Writer of the Year award. Shortlisted for the 2010 ReLit Award
