<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Walking Leonard and Other Stories</em>, is a short story collection of roughly 30,000 words in the literary fiction genre. The stories depict unspoken pivot points in the lives of ordinary people. Themes include responsibility and violation between parent and child, nature as a protective force, and the shucking off of various selves in the process of a lifetime. The stories spring from the foothills of southern Alberta, specifically Calgary, and some even more specifically from the historic neighborhood of Bowness, once a small town in its own right.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Stocking weaves a story of heartache and grace. Her stories draw us in and we identify with each character; Shakti, who finds nature offering what her parents do not, Clarice, who discovers another world much warmer than the cold and arrogant one of her parents, and finally Mollie who knows that taking responsibility is the order of the day. There are many things to ponder with each story, and as readers we can discover something new with each reading.</p>--Prairie Fire Magazine<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Burdened by the notion that a career should encompass everything, Sophie Stocking changed her major so often, she narrowly escaped a degree in General Studies. Sophie found the courage to pursue fiction at the Alexandra Writer's Centre and went on to study under Aritha van Herk at the University of Calgary. Her debut novel <i>Corridor Nine</i> was released by Thistledown Press in 2019.</p>
