for the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Nonfiction, and named one of the Top 50 Books of 2013 by Indigo Books. Moments of Glad Grace (ECW Press) was published in 2020. “This is a wise, funny, and tender book, beautifully written and perfectly executed from first to last sentence. It’s about a daughter and her ageing father, it’s about genealogy and identity, it’s about Ireland, but actually it’s about how we love the ones we love. Moments of Glad Grace is a travelogue of the heart. It’s a road you’ll want to travel.” Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi. Wearing has served as a juror for the Governor General's Award for Engligh language non-fiction, a reader for the CBC Literary Prize, a mentor for the University of Guelph MFA Creative Writing program, a faculty member of the Under The Volcano masterclass program, and Writer-in-Residence at Trent University, the University of Guelph, and Green College, University of British Columbia, where she has since been appointed a Distinguished Visiting Fellow. Wearing facilitates Memoir Writing Ink, an online writing program, and administers the International Amy MacRae Award for Memoir.
