Set in British Columbia from the 1970s onward, A Bright and Steady Flame follows a decades-long friendship that begins when Luanne Armstrong, having left an abusive marriage, connects with Sam Moore. Both single parents rebuild their lives together, navigating child-rearing, careers and the social movements that reshaped local communities.

The narrative examines later-life challenges—identity, loss and the realities of aging—and shows how sustained companionship and shared activism provide comfort, purpose and practical support. The book blends personal memory with the cultural currents of feminist, peace and environmental efforts in BC.

Published by Caitlin Press (2018), 192 pages. Recommended for readers interested in memoir, women's history and community-centered stories.
