Author Carissa Halton and her "Little Yellow House"

When Carissa Halton bought a house in a neighbourhood with a reputation for crime, people asked, “Why do you live there?” Her answer was to write this series of poignant, funny, sad, make-you-mad stories that will introduce readers to her neighbours. Little Yellow House: Finding Community in a Changing Neighbourhood is Carissa's reflections on the value of community and the forces that shape our cities. Join us for an evening of neighbourhood stories and lessons learned.

Carissa's book will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
