Home on the Strange: Chronicles of Motherhood, Mayhem, and Matters of the Heart is Susan’s second book. “Her passion for writing—mostly humour, travel and creative non-fiction these days—merges with her love of family in this collection of humourous and touching stories. Of Home on the Strange, Susan says: “My life is peppered with amusing experiences that beg to be put into stories. I’ve also experienced some trauma, including my daughter’s cycling accident and my husband’s heart attack. These are the types of slice-of-life situations—some poignant, most amusing—that are compiled in this book. It is a true labour of love.”
