One Book Lambton

One Book Lambton is a literary event, designed to celebrate Canadian authors and to unit people from around Lambton County by reading the same book. People are encouraged to read the same selected book and engage in various activities throughout the winter and spring that highlight themes from the book

In the fall of 2019, Lambton County Library and its partner, The Book Keeper announced the title selection for 2019-2020: The Reason you Walk by Wab Kinew. In his book, Kinew tells the emotional story of how his estranged father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the year they spend reconnecting. Brilliantly navigating a painful past, renewed hopes, and dreams for the future, Kinew shares conversations with his father and learns of his traumatic childhood in a residential school. Through charismatic storytelling, Kinew gifts his readers with an inspiring story about cross cultural forgiveness, father-son relationships, and sparks important conversations about the future of aboriginal peoples.

Borrow The Reason You Walk by Wab Kinew with your library card, or purchase a copy from The Book Keeper in Sarnia, Ontario or your favourite book seller.
