Something to Read by Newfoundland author Nancy Gosse

Obscurity In Your Face is a story of the inner journey of a little girl in search of who she really is. In the middle of an average dysfunctional family slowly crumbling under the weight of alcoholism, betrayal, abuse, neglect, and utter frustration with life, one little girl dares to think outside the confines of what being human means. She strives to keep her light shining, or at least to recognize that there is light somewhere.

By stating directly and bluntly the straightforward experiences and emotions felt in this journey, the writer has captured the essence of the extraordinarily simple truth that can set humanity free from its bounds. Told through the eyes of an innocent child and later through the yearning heart of a weary soul, this story captures the message of hope that nearly everyone is seeking. It accomplishes its purpose by stating the simple truth about the stories we create to keep us stuck in the illusions we’ve created to maintain our comfort zones of who we think we are.

Appeal for Donations


The Pride Centre is open to everyone, including lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) people, and
straight-indentifying individuals who are supportive of the LGBTQ
community. We provide a non-judgmental, safe space where people can be
themselves, find support, meet new people and be part of a community. We
provide services for everyone and we need your help to keep our doors
open.  We do not profit from anything we offer but it costs us over $200
per day to stay up and running.

 *These funds come mainly from the generosity of our community*

Without your support the Centre faces the possibilty of closing its doors and that would be a huge loss to the community, the city and the province.


If your interested in making a donation you can click the donate button
on our website, or contact Will for more information
will@pridecentreofedmonton.org or 780-488-3234
