Dr. Gerry Turcotte at his book launch on February 10, 2026
“What Gerry Turcotte has written is an act of welcoming into his unique world. At times comic, at other times tragic, these stories travel back to childhood days to contemplate how small incidents have profound implications. In this semi-autobiographical novel, he relives the hilarity and the trauma of his protagonist’s early life. Readers will rejoice in exploring his insights and his conclusions.” – David Staines
“With wit and wisdom, Gerry Turcotte invites us into a vivid coming‑of‑age journey that spans the full spectrum of human emotion. The Space Between enchants with the joy of youthful mischief, the exhilaration of first love, and the tender complexities of family life. Though deeply personal, Turcotte’s story resonates broadly, offering each reader a chance to rediscover their own adolescence through a lens of wonder, honesty, and profound appreciation.” – Ross Lockhart, Dean of St. Andrew’s Hall at the University of British Columbia
