Like Bone From Skin (Original Writing)., Jenny Sampirisi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In October 1983, 8-year-old Christine Jessop went missing from the tiny Ontario town of Queensville.

This balance between suggesting and limiting realism is a tool for …

In breaking the taboo of silence around my family history and risking rejection by both my family and readers, I claim the right to my history and identity.
