As June wraps up, we’re taking a moment to highlight some of the standout moments that made this month exciting! From incredible book reviews to author features and little wins worth celebrating, it’s been a joy to see so many stories from our Tellwell authors shine.
Here’s a look at our authors’ journey this June!
Publicity
Canadian hockey icon and broadcaster Don Cherry was featured in the Toronto Sun recently, discussing daughter Cindy’s new book on his life and legacy, The Don Cherry Story by his daughter Cindy. Cindy recently passed away, and Don talks about how the book “helps keep Cindy alive for him.”
Published with Tellwell, Cindy’s book offers a heartfelt behind-the-scenes look at her father’s life—both in the spotlight and at home. It’s a powerful tribute that sheds new light on a Canadian legend and gives readers a personal glimpse into the man behind the headlines. We’re grateful to have been a part of telling this family’s remarkable story.
In Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Tellwell author Teddy Morrison is proving that determination knows no limits. Born without one hand, Teddy has lived a full and fearless life, now captured in his memoir, The Adventures of a Man With One Hand.
As featured on CTV News Atlantic, Teddy’s story is one of adaptability, humour, and strength. From daily tasks to life’s biggest adventures, he’s never let his physical difference define him.
This inspiring book is a reminder that resilience is not about what you’re missing—it’s about what you choose to make possible.

Geoffrey R. Jonas’s debut memoir Being Broken received an incredible review from IndieReader.
The book follows his emotional journey after the loss of his sister, father, and mother—each affected by addiction and mental illness. Left to pick up the pieces, he uncovers a painful history of abuse and trauma through family letters and messages.
Being Broken is a powerful story of generational pain, mental health struggles, and ultimately, the healing process.
Geoffrey R. Jonas’s BEING BROKEN: Tales and Essays of Survival and Death from Narcissistic Parental Abuse offers profound and intensely affecting insights into familial abuse, the psychology of addiction, and the possibility of post-traumatic growth.
