Toronto knew Donnie P. before it knew what to make of him.
He arrived from a mountain town in Italy by way of a train from Halifax, in patched jeans, with a paper route and a plan, and he did not stop moving for fifty years. He put his name on towers, filled rooms before he had said a word, and moved through the city as though it partly belonged to him.
His niece Stefanie knew someone else entirely. Donnie P. is the story of what happens when those two lives finally meet.
The rest is in the book. Available now in paperback and Kindle.
