David Adams Richards Prize for Fiction Manuscript - 2nd Prize, 2024

"This is powerful fiction with an absolutely believable heroine. From the first pages I was engaged with Darby’s story and hoping she could somehow escape her situation – but not through her chosen escape route. The author does a brilliant job of building suspense throughout Darby’s “last day” and her checklist of things to do. Every interaction she has is vivid and authentic and her reactions feel completely in character; the minor characters are vividly drawn. I found myself fully wrapped up in this story and really wanted to read on to see how Darby’s story ended. "

David Adams Richards Prize for Fiction Manuscript - Honourable Mention, 2023

"The intense pace of this story drew me in from the beginning.  With convincing dialogue and a strong narrative voice, the writer has taken an extremely hard subject matter and not only instantly captured the reader’s attention, but has the reader on the edge of their seat."
Michelle Wamboldt, Judge, New Brunswick Writing Competition 2023
