This collection includes 150 letters Emily Carr wrote to her friends Nan Cheney and Humphrey Toms, and 100 other letters relating mainly to Emily Carr. The letters date from 1930 to 1945, the most prolific period in Carr's career as both painter and writer. In them she writes in colourful detail about her everyday activities, and discusses her painting - "the biggest thing in my life." There are outbursts of exasperation and anger as well as many indications of her caring, her warmth, her wisdom and her wit, and of her impatience with critics and poseurs, and they give insights into her various relationships with, among others, Lawren Harris, Ira Dilworth, Jack Shadbolt, Garnett Sedgewick, Dorothy Livesay, A.Y. Jackson, and Arthur Lismer.

The letter inside is real. Sent by a college student to friends: Think me crazy-but how would you like to help me save the earth? It has begun! Anger burns like an Irish demon in Chuck McCrory's throat: "They piss their poisons and flush their factories in our drinking water." Insight strikes on how to change the country. Secret Oath taken to rise to power, to hold their values, to stick together, to recruit others, to bring back America. Sex shatters the group: "A young goddess flaunted and a young god hunted. They mixed like a warm front and a jet stream. Tornado fury." Action! "Politics is practical. So get your asses out of your classes and into the streets." They took it to other schools. Danger-"Those goddamn college kids will not throw dirt on my America" said fat Jack Dawson, FBI agent, Academic Division. Oratorical Brilliance: "I am an American of the class mammalia of the phyla chordata of the kingdom animalia of the planet earth. I promise to protect America, life, and the earth, in Thomas Jefferson's words, with my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor. I ask you no less. I pledge you no less."

Ten years after the fateful night when Nan was fired, she returns to New York with her husband, HH. Finally settling in to build a permanent home and get her consulting business off the ground, Nan's plans are derailed by HH's sudden desire to start a family - and her surpisingly strong resistance to the idea. Matters are further complicated by a late-night, drunken visit from a now fifteen-year-old Grayer, who's stumbled upon the nanny-cam tape Nan made on her last night in his mother's employment - and wants some answers. Racked with guilt and struggling to find a way to help Grayer and his seven-year-old brother, Stilton, through their parents' vicious divorce, Nan finds herself getting sucked into the Upper East Side world of wealth, power and dysfunction all over again. Set against the backdrop of a Manhattan economy cracking along the fault lines, The Nanny Returns plumbs the humour and heartbreak of a community who chose money over love, only to find the money evaporate - and their children ready to tell all.
