A note to US-based customers: All Lit Up is pausing print orders to the USA until further notice. Read more

Capper is a modern chronicle of a disabled woman who chooses a life of criminality over poverty. Told in gritty realism – readable, but edgy – and set in the underbelly of Vancouver, Capper follows the trail of Odette Kelley as she navigates disability, revenge, feminine rage, and empowerment through any means necessary.

It is also a tragic love story about the lessons learned too late to matter.
