1000 Steps (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473756628)

This thought-provoking poetry novel examines themes of family relationships, loss, abuse, and resilience through the narrative arc of Amy's development from childhood to young adulthood.

Climbing 1000 steps to the top of a cliff, Amy feels isolated and fragile as she endeavours to make sense of her past and deal with the recent death of her grandfather. She recalls specific events from her life, both difficult and pleasant, and how she has navigated through them.

Will this latest loss and rejection be the final straw that breaks Amy, or can she draw on the strength and faith she discovered as a child?

Not all stories offer justice, but some provide healing and hope.
