These are stories that age like good whiskey—richer, truer and unforgettable.
Our Rural Writes gathers the voices of 17 seniors from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, into a warm, resonant collection of memories, reflections and wisdom. Born from a ten-workshop community project in the spring and early autumn of 2025, the book moves from Remembrances, to the Here and Now and concludes with Words to Those Who Follow, tracing personal responses to life across decades. These pieces—many written by first-time authors—honour ordinary days, landmark moments, grief, joy and small acts of kindness that shape a life. Illustrated with participant profiles and evocative photographs, Our Rural Writes celebrates storytelling as a source of inclusion, pride and lasting value.
