Anotace knihy

"A powerful first novel, that gives us a vivid and fascinating story of an unfamiliar world, right within our own boundaries - hidden from sight. It rings true to life…" Wilma Derksen, author, coach, victims' advocate For Beth Hill - a reluctant theology student - to be caught in shallow żakedom is her greatest fear. She's determined to escape the shadow of her accomplished brother, and is convinced that following in the footsteps of her parish-priest father would be God-awful. Beth's quest for meaning propels her to Just Living, a halfway house in British Columbia - a world filled with murderers, child molesters, and an entourage of people who want to fix them. There, she learns about compassion and relationships, and that the eżects of violence and murder ripple through communities without ceasing. Because safety, like love, is never assured. Those who've known violence may find parts of this story difficult to read, but it is a compelling glimpse of Canadian life usually hidden behind prison walls Just Living is a home, a community and a way of life At Just Living we ask: Is it safe? Is it just? Is it compassionate? Is it honest? Is it responsible? We support people to make meaningful change, be accountable as their best selves, and live together with dignity in the aftermath of crime and tragedy We are Just Living "This fine novel is a rich exploration of the human experience that touches the soul deeply on many levels." Jane Miller-Ashton, Criminology Instructor, Kwantlen Polytechnic University Senior Manager, Correctional Service of Canada (retired)
