Description

"This is courageous writing .... [Scofield's]directness and ease are like a gift of speech, a contagious freedom. Balancing anger and forgiveness, he applies his tender or sardonic touch to weighty subjects-poverty, racism, sexual abuse, street life-without diminishing their seriousness." -Vancouver Sun
