The Tales that Bind: A Narrative Model of Living and Helping in Rural Communities
​(University of Toronto Press, 2015)

​Every year, thousands of new practitioners in professions such as social work, education, medicine, policing, and ministry leave the large urban centres where, more than likely, they received their training and go to work in small towns, remote hamlets, and other rural settings. Often, however, they can find themselves significantly unprepared for professional life in these communities.
 
“The Tales that Bind describes what is unique about rural helping careers.  The book is directed to both teachers and learners, and is written in such a way that it will be helpful to both.”  (Preston Smith, Dean of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan)
