Former Peterborough resident Kerry Clare has just released her latest novel “Definitely Thriving” published by House of Anansi Press.

It will be launched in Peterborough on Thursday, March 26 at Take Cover Books, 59 Hunter St. E. from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., where she will discuss the book with Megan Murphy.

“Definitely Thriving” is the story of Clemence, a young woman reeling from a separation and layoff who moves back to her hometown. While trying to piece her life back together, she encounters some surprising situations and people along the way.

When asked what inspired her to write the book, Clare replied, “In 2021, when the pandemic was going strong, I decided I wanted to write a book that would make me happy, and which was all about everything I was missing, namely people and community.”

Female friendship is a theme in all of her........
