Local author, Evon Small, decided there's no better time than the present to spread messages of hope, positive thinking and faith on a global level.
His premier book, Mission Possible: Hope Restored is a collection of poetry touching on a wide array of topics - from loss to love and everything in between - was released in October and is now available for purchase at Bentleys Books.

Small hails from Kingston, Jamaica but moved to Canada in 2006 with his family. At first living in Brampton, Ont., Small relocated to Cochrane in 2008, taking a position at the Lafarge Cement Plant in Exshaw as a process coordinator.
