It's the final day to download Silver Linings by Janice Landry from NS libraries with no waitlists. We spoke to Janice today about the significance of her book being featured this week in May, which leads out of Mother's Day and up to her late mother Theresa Landry's birthday. The book is partially dedicated to her as well (read more in the excerpt below). Janice ended our interview today with these words: "I do this interview and everything I'm doing during #ReadAtlantic to honour my late mother, Theresa Landry."
