It's a novel from Manitoba-based Gregg Norman. He's a retired lawyer who writes full-time these days.
"A Gift of Scars" is set in Moose Jaw in The Dirty Thirties. It's a story of survival, love and perseverance.
It's also a story about Moose Jaw and some of the characters who used to roam our streets.
Mr. Norman had a book launch scheduled for Moose Jaw in May but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it had to be postponed.
CHAB's Rob Carnie interviewed Mr. Norman via telephone on a recent edition of The Heartland at Noon.
