Praise for Resilient: "With this riveting, heart-wrenching collection of images, Wayne Simpson goes well beyond the pixels. While the portraits alone showcase Simpson's masterful photographic abilities and leave us reeling in awe, the accompanying stories give the readers a window into what has transpired for these remarkable subjects. Resilient is not just a sensational display of cutting-edge, moving portrait photographs; it's a journey we undertake, through the lives and experiences of others, thanks to the courage, creativity and inquisitiveness of the artist." -Paul Zizka, author of Aloft: Canadian Rockies Aerial Photography, The Canadian Rockies: Rediscovered, Grandeur of the Canadian Rockies and several other bestselling photo collections "Spending time with this book reminded me of the words of St. John: 'The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it'." -George Webber, author of Borrowed Time: Calgary 1976-2019; Saskatchewan Book; Alberta Book; Prairie Gothic; and Last Call
