Author: Brenda Hasiuk. Published by Thistledown Press, Saskatoon, SK, 2006, 1st Edition. Signed by Author. Printed in Canada. Almost New Condition SOFTCOVER Book, with minor age-yellowed pages. 

Brenda Hasiuk's debut novel, WHERE THE ROCKS SAY YOUR NAME, details eight weeks in the lives of four teens in a hardcore mining town in northern Canada.

Ally and Toby, life-long locals, Rina, a Sarajevo refugee, and Adam, the returning urban native warrior, get lost in each others' individual and collective mythologies as they find love, friendship, violence, and tragedy in one long, last summer. Unflinchingly honest and disturbingly poignant, this story captures the displacement of northerners, the struggle for identity, and the restlessness of teens in isolated communities. In a place that makes them feel lonely, they try never to be alone; and in lives confounded by rituals and restraints, their search for meaning is illusive.
