Reviews

[Enid Wray]

An interesting knitting together of a series of responses to questions - often originating as comments posted on Facebook - to fashion as a story.

An important prompt to encourage people to explore their own relationship with reconciliation.

[Clivemichael · Rating 5 out of 5]

Powerful examination of our role in creating reconciliation personally and systemically.
