From the Publisher

Mechanic Jennifer Collins is a woman in a man’s world, but since her father’s sudden death her world has been falling apart. Now she’s in a losing battle, risking everything to cling to the past while everyone else moves forward.

 

A Few Kinds of Wrong takes us into the garage and tells the poignant story of Jennifer, her pain, her loves, and her coming to terms with reality. Above all, this story reminds us that memories — whether we struggle to forget or fight to remember — can never be controlled.

About the Author

Tina Chaulk lives in Conception Bay South, NL, with her husband and two sons, while writing and working in a variety of freelance technical roles. A Few Kinds of Wrong is her second novel.

From the Critics

"Gut-painful and gut-funny, A Few Kinds of Wrong takes us down a journey of loss, deception, self-destruction and love. Chaulk writes deftly of the hilarity and pathos of being human, of faults and failures, of suffering and joy. Palpable characters and solid storytelling.
-Michelle Butler Hallett, author of Double-blind and Sky Waves 

"A book that engages the reader in a subject rarely treated in modern fiction -- the shattering, unreasoned grief of a daughter when her beloved father dies. Tina Chaulk has a talent for getting inside the always quirky and often perverse sensibility of her protagonist, a young woman coming to terms with flawed memories, misunderstood relationships and a reinterpretation of family history."
-Bernice Morgan, award-winning author of Cloud of Bone and Random Passage

“It is good solid stuff with unexpected yet authentic twists, and people you are interested in. A book like this is why people read.”
-Joan Sullivan, The Telegram

"There were times when I felt like giving Jennifer a shake. By the time I closed the book, however, having witnessed Jennifer begin to untangle herself from the shackles of her oh-so-human faults, my emotions had changed. I’d grown fond of Jennifer, p’raps even begun to love her a little, and not just because she could fix my car.
-Harold Walters, The Southern Gazette

"One of Chaulk’s strengths as a writer is her descriptive ability… Another strength of Chaulk’s is her ability to create realistic characters… A Few Kinds of Wrong is funny, poignant, and has a sense of desperation, a need to fix things, that many of us feel at times in our lives."
-Sharon Hunt, The Chronicle Herald

    Another great book by author Tina Chaulk. Could not put the book down. A gentle reminder to the reader that everything is not always as it appears. My favorite quote from the book "Feels like I am standing outside a bus and everyone is getting on and off, moving around, eating meatballs, making plans and I'm just standing here watching the bus." If you haven't already read Tina's first novel "This Much is True" I highly recommend it as well.
