A fictional biography showing the difficulties surrounding family and social relationships in small-town Eastern Canada when one's in-built direction is homosexual. \"Although I felt relieved that things were now in the open, it took both my mother and I a bit of time before we were comfortable being around each other ... she may not have understood that it wasn't a choice I was making but rather an acceptance of what I couldn't change.\" Uneasy that something could happen to his parents on their trip to Europe, Richard decides to return home to northern New Brunswick with his friend Norman. During the twelve-hour odyssey, they reminisce about growing up in small-town, catholic Dalhousie, and share thoughts on their respective coming-out stories and their relation ¬ships with their mothers. Richard's easy life in Ottawa changes when Norman's pre ¬mon ¬ition comes true. Charles Seems was born in Dalhousie, New Brunswick, Canada and has travelled the world. Charles is a teacher, writer, human resources manager and interior designer. He lives in Ottawa with his spouse Robert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Petra Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45159447822487,"sku":"9781927032091","price":1584.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781927032091.webp?v=1767304143","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-road-to-dalhousie-9781927032091","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
