Landed is a collection of heartfelt stories about the transformative experience of immigration, funded by a Calgary Arts Development grant I was awarded earlier this year. Written by 37 women from 30 countries of origin, each story is a unique expression of the gritty choices and hard-won lessons to belong and become.

They tell the tales of brave women who add value, who make our country better through their experiences, talents, and deep love. Many might already have created their own narrative of who an immigrant might be, and we are hopeful that this book will challenge their perspectives in the best way possible. Moreover, it will be an empowering read for any newly arrived immigrant woman.

Together, the stories highlight the exquisite fabric of multicultural Canada.
