<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Dark deeds at the Spa Springs Hotel in Nova Scotia in the 1880s echo down the decades, bringing out the worst and the best in people high and low.</p><p><br></p><p>Mr. Leeson allows he wanted "to have blurred the line be-tween fact and fiction", and he's done so wonderfully. There are characters to care for living vivid lives in a wholly believable historic Annapolis Valley. The local drama and colour are set credibly against a broader and changing world. I thoroughly enjoyed this time between the lines.</p><p>Don Connolly, former host, CBC Information Morning</p><p><br></p><p>Anyone who thinks Nova Scotia history is boring should read The Secret of the Spring. Sometimes touching, some-times violent, this family saga demonstrates the full spectrum of human nature. Garry Leeson brings a colourful past to life.</p><p>Wendy Elliott, Valley Journal Advertiser columnist</p><p><br></p><p>The Secret of the Spring reveals the extraordinary secrets hidden in ordinary lives-fragile, then lost and forgotten in a generational blink of an eye.</p><p> Blurring fact and fiction and capturing the quirks and cadence of a vanishing rural Nova Scotia, Garry Leeson has spun an intricate tale which rings clearly and resonates long after the book's been finished. </p><p>Mike Bienstock, Rural Delivery</p>
