There is an article about Angelina Fast-Vlaar, whose story opens Hot Apple Cider, in the St. Catharine’s Standard , Aug 18/08, in Spectrum, on pages B1 and B2. It’s called “Angie’s book of hope,” and is about the `10th anniversary edition of her book, The Valley of Cancer.
The article includes sidebars for Hot Apple Cider and Seven Angels for Seven Days.
Angelina Fast-Vlaar was a guest on 100 Huntley Street on Wednesday, Sept. 3. The interview can be heard on their website.
In Promise Keepers Canada’s debut magazine, Seven, Pulse editor Robert White suggests that men might want to put a copy of Hot Apple Cider on their to-be-read pile, right next to their copy of Chicken Soup for the Golfer’s Soul. According to Robert, “The stories are short enough to be savoured in a single serving, but filling enough to keep your soul warmed for a while.”

Just found out there’s a review of Hot Apple Cider in the Mennonite Brethren Herald
“Hot Apple Cider is sweeter than chicken soup and sometimes tastier.
“Along with the heartwarming, real-life stories we expect from a Chicken Soup-style book, the editors of this collection have tossed in some surprises. There is poetry, short fiction, and some tart essays on drug addiction, poverty, and the plight of Third World women. Indeed, these thirty Canadian Christian writers have cooked up a flavourful anthology with broad appeal.
“For aspiring writers, the resources in the last 17 pages alone are worth the cover price.”
