Description
In 1917, Halifax, Nova Scotia was a city in turmoil. The First World War raged on, and anti-German sentiment ran high. For Livy Schroeder and her brother Will, the loss of their father just six months before had left a deep scar. Rumors swirled that he'd been a German spy, fueling the family's isolation. On December 6, disaster struck when two ships collided in Halifax Harbour. The Halifax Explosion was a catastrophe that changed everything. Livy and Will found themselves lost and separated in the devastated city. As they navigated the dark, destroyed landscape, they had to confront their own guilt and blame. Where was their mother? And who was to blame for the tragedy? Julie Lawson's A Blinding Light is a riveting story of survival, loss, and the human bonds that form in times of crisis. This book offers a powerful exploration of the complexities of guilt, blame, and taking ownership, set against the backdrop of one of Canada's most significant historical events.
