Jody Aliesan's True North/Nord Vrai is a multi-genre memoir, a narrative collage about pathological liars, psychopaths, cruelty, hypocrisy, denial, pretension, concealment, orientation, maps, finding the truth. The story begins when the author is eight years old, first realizing that something is very different about her mother. From that day Aliesan moves forward and backward in time, on a scale from family to nation and in all four compass directions before finding refuge in the landscape and culture of Canada. -- amazon.com
