N2  - "Kerri ní Dochartaigh was born in Derry, on the border of the North and South of Ireland, at the height of the Troubles. One parent was Catholic, the other was Protestant. In the space of one year, they were forced out of two homes. When she was eleven, a homemade bomb was thrown through her bedroom window. Terror was in the very fabric of the city, and for families who fell between the cracks of sectarian identity, it seemed there was no escape. In Thin Places, a luminous combination of memoir, history, and writing about the more-than-human world, ní Dochartaigh explores how wonder kept her sane and helped her heal, how violence and poverty are never more than a stone's throw from beauty and hope, and how the land we fight over will always belong to us all." -- Page [4] of cover
