The awards, managed by the Atlantic Book Awards Society, recognize books from Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada including poetry, illustrated children's books, adult fiction and nonfiction. The provincial and regional awards are collectively worth more than $55,000 and are selected by independent juries. Carr's We Rip the World Apart won the Dartmouth Book Award for Fiction. We Rip the World Apart tells the layered story of Kareela, a 24-year-old, biracial woman, who learns she's pregnant and is struggling to find herself; her mother, Evelyn, who fled to Canada from Jamaica in the 1980s; and her paternal grandmother, Violet, who moved into their house after Kareela's brother was killed by the police.
