Coles Chalice in the Corner: First Puff at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Nichole Sterling has spent forty-seven years doing everything right. A successful civil engineer, a devoted wife, and a mother, she’s built a life of responsibility and routine. But beneath the surface, she’s exhausted—bone-tired from a grind that never ends. Then one fateful Friday, pushed past her breaking point, she takes two homemade cookies from her husband and steps into a world she never imagined.
What follows is a raw, honest, and unexpectedly lyrical journey from the fluorescent-lit offices of Port St. Lucie to the rainbow-hued visions of a first high, and all the way back to the ganja fields of her Jamaican childhood. Chalice: The First Puff is not a manual or an argument—it’s one woman’s memoir of learning to be still in a world that never stops running.
Through heartbreak, laughter, vomiting, and forgiveness, Nichole discovers that peace isn’t found in escape, but in pause. This is a story for anyone who has ever felt too tired to cry, too responsible to let go, and brave enough to take that first puff.
