Back in January, it was announced that popular Autism Vox blogger Kristina Chew, PhD would no longer be blogging for Blisstree.com.
Then, two months later, we met Jeff and Jill—Kristina&#8217;s replacements.
Which is why we were shocked to read Jeff&#8217;s goodbye note posted yesterday.

Come back Autism Vox! Please come back!

Quoting Sue Carter Flinn, reviewing Anna Quon&#8217;s new book &#8220;Migration Songs&#8221; for The Coast:


Anna Quon&#8217;s debut novel Migration Songs is a hopeful sign for Atlantic Canadian literature moving beyond the traditional rural stories and recognizing that we don&#8217;t all share the same history. Though Quon&#8217;s Halifax is a blur—this is really [...]]]></description>
