The eight short stories included in this anthology offer a glimpse at Canada’s geographic landscape—spanning the Yukon, Canadian Prairies, Great Lakes, and metropolitan Toronto while starring protagonists who are well-storied in loss, yet not all choose to grieve.\nYou will crunch across sub-zero tundra and bake on the beach alongside our hero(in)es. You will live like hermits and populate condos. You will search the remains of a knocked down church and dig up a decades old box. You will fall in love with a fallen angel and a sufferer of galeophobia.\nLike the Canadians who created them, our feisty leads think outside the box to adapt to the challenges and changes thrust upon them.

Remember, It's OK. Navigating the waters of grief. Whether it be the death of a friend or family member, this book was written in consultation with teens to ensure it meets their needs. Inside these pages are moments you will identify with and guidance that will help you on your painful journey. There are no secrets here-this book can be your safety net, your comfort, your help. This unique book divides moments of grief into six colours of emotion as the road map forward. Each "moment" has two entries, one from the perspective of the person suffering from a loss, and another as a guide for a companion response, whether a friend, family member, colleagues or therapist. Blank pages are also included for reflection. You're not alone. Let us help you begin. Let us help you through this difficult time. Let us help you find yourself again. Author Marina L. Reed and psychotherapist Marian Grace Boyd are the co-creators of the Remember, It's OK series. They combine their talents in these books to bring hope and healing to those in grief.

Emmy Gold wants to be ordinary, but it’s hard when everything about her is so…extra. 
Growing up on television and starring on the most popular sitcom has made her a household name, but it’s left her longing for a no pressure life in the New Jersey ‘burbs. When she’s fired from her role on Helping Hanna, everyone expects her to land another lead part, but Emmy’s got her bags packed to leave New York City for good. 
Fitting back into the real world will be easy, right? Not so much when Emmy’s got a Mom-ager who spends most days plotting her comeback, and The Queen of Patterson Middle School who has an epic plan to destroy her. Luckily, BFF Jasmine is there for back-up, but will all the pressure of reality prove as complicated as the spotlight and send Emmy back to NYC?\nEARLY REVIEWS 
"This book is SO good. It's about friendship and change—the good and the bad! It made me feel so many things—excited, happy, sad, and everything all at once. It's really heartwarming, and shows that people can change even if at first it seems like they can't. It kept surprising me and every chapter was more exciting than the last and I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen! I think everyone should read this book—girls, boys, young people and grown ups too. I LOVED IT!" –Everly Carganilla, actress in Yes Day and Spy Kids: Armageddon\n"I love Emmy so much. This is the perfect book for preteens or young teens going through those rough middle school years, dealing with periods, boys, friend drama, and family pressure. It’s also perfect for those of us reminiscing on those hard times and looking back through a friendlier lense. Emmy grows so much in this book, coming in to her own in a fun and relatable way. Definitely recommend!” — Haleigh Wenger, author of Managing the Matthews
