In the Hug of Hills is storyteller and photographer Cathryn Wellner's love letter to a small city in one of the most stunning spots on the planet. Vibrant and increasingly diverse Kelowna has earned two nicknames: 'Napa North' for the over 200 vineyards surrounding it and 'Silicon Vineyard' for the growing high-tech sector bringing young families to the area. In the Hug of Hills explores the most-loved, and most-photographed, sites in this gateway to the Okanagan Valley.The semi-arid region is home to a thriving agricultural sector.

With a booming housing market and stunning scenery, Kelowna is a magnet for visitors. Many who come for a vacation end up making the city their home.In the Hug of Hills is a love letter to an extraordinary place, with over 100 pages of colour photographs and text.
