Description
What makes Nova Scotia home? Why do we sing about her sea-bound coast when we're far off, or move to the province 'from away'? What draws us and keeps us? And do all who live here feel at home?
Sculptor and writer Jan Fancy Hull talked with born-heres and moved-heres from Yarmouth to Glace Bay to find out what brings them here...or pushes them away. Responses to an online survey share the voices of many more people who find Nova Scotia a very special place.
Come take the road home.

Jan Fancy Hull lives in a log chalet beside a quiet lake in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, where she has written non-fiction, award-winning poetry, short stories, and novels. In former lives, she worked as a radio broadcaster, arts administrator, sailing tours skipper, and employee benefits broker. During the winter, Jan watches snowflakes fall as she writes. In warm months, she carves Nova Scotia sandstone into sculptures. She enjoys the occasional round of golf, and drifting on the lake in her little boat, which she claims is a great place to edit.In 2022, Jan received the Rita Joe Poetry Prize for her poem, "Moss Meditations."
