DESCRIPTION:The Spoon Stealer by Lesley Crewe\nBorn into a basket of clean 
 sheets—ruining a perfectly good load of laundry—Emmeline never quite f
 it in on her family’s Nova Scotian farm. After suffering multiple losses
  in the First World War\, her family became so heavy with grief and mental
  illness that Emmeline felt their weight smothering her. And so\, she fled
  across the Atlantic and built her life in England. Retired\, she now live
 s in a small coastal town with her best friend\, Vera\, a small white dog.
  \nWhen she joins a memoir-writing course at the library\, her past unfold
 s for her audience\, and friendships form. She even shares her third-bigge
 st secret: she is a compulsive spoon stealer. When Emmeline unexpectedly i
 nherits the farm she grew up on\, she knows she needs to see what remains 
 of her family one last time. \nShe arrives like a tornado in their lives\,
  an off-kilter Mary Poppins bossing everyone around and getting quite a lo
 t wrong. But with her generosity and hard-earned wisdom\, she gets an awfu
 l lot right\, too. A pinball ricocheting between people\, offending and in
 spiring in equal measure\, Emmeline\, in her final years\, believes that a
  spoonful— perhaps several spoonfuls—of kindness can set to rights the
  family so broken by loss and secrecy.\nFirst United Church\, Waterloo is 
 inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.\nTime: November 21\, 2026 09:30
