PRESS RELEASE

Brenda Wilson, a long-time past resident of North Glengarry, will be returning to the Cornwall Public Library on November 6th at 6 pm, to launch her new novel entitled, “Takewing a.m.”

Takewing a.m. tells the story of two families, the Desjardins from the fictional town of Glenfield, Eastern Ontario and the Santanas from Ocampo, Mexico. They are brought together by their love of the monarch butterfly, a tiny creature that migrates 5,000 km each year between the rugged Sierra Mountains of Mexico and the rural farmlands of Canada. The monarchs’ spectacular life cycle has now become a beacon of hope to save all that is beautiful in our world.

Takewing a.m.”, tackles hard topics that impact the lives of both humans and butterflies. Threatened by extreme weather, deforestation, and the loss of their food sources, monarchs hover between survival and extinction. Their drive to survive is mirrored in the story’s characters who are inspired by the strength, courage and determination that the monarch butterfly, one of the most seemingly fragile creatures on earth, demonstrates every day of its life.
