If You Sit Very Still

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2016

A powerful, lyrical and deeply personal account of traumatic loss, its aftermath and the path away from resentment. Marian Partington's sister Lucy was one of the victims of Fred and Rosemary West. Here, she reclaims Lucy from the status of victim, and her inspiring narrative of healing draws on Buddhist and Quaker practices and culminates in her restorative justice work in prisons.
