Description
Clarky has just tried to kill himself, but has ended up instead in the ICU of a Regina hospital. In the waiting room three of his old friends have gathered: Rae and Amy flying in from their new big-city lives, and Josh, who stayed in Regina. During a long winter night, the three share laughter, tears, and some long-concealed truths about themselves and their lives. Frank and funny, Finding Regina explores friendship, survival, and how the past is always with us. Shoshana Sperlings searing honesty and her take-no-prisoners sense of humour will make you glad to find Regina, too.
