🏆Wayne is honoured that THE FAMILY CODE is a finalist for the 2024 Ottawa Book Awards.
Wayne says: “This nomination is particularly meaningful because THE FAMILY CODE is dedicated to the many Ottawans who trusted me as their social worker with their stories of courage, resilience, and humour. My heartfelt thanks to the jurors and the OPL for including me among Ottawa’s talented writers.”

This moving and bold book is a compelling and unforgettable read.”
