challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

As someone who spends a lot of time in Abbottsford, I only know the area post the establishment of the safe injecting facility, and it was unbelievable reading about just how far it's come. The place that Judy Ryan describes is unrecognizable. 

This book is an amazing testament to how much impact a community can make when they band together, and ask "if not me, who?"
