As Good a Place as Any: Volume 225

By Rebecca Papucaru CA

Book Overview

A teenaged refugee chases stardom but finds her purpose in Canada's abortion-rights movement. Fleeing Chile after the 1973 coup, sixteen-year-old Paulina and her older brother Ernesto settle in Toronto. While Ernesto dreams of a glorious homecoming, Paulina embraces her liberation from the conventional life expected of her back home. Yet despite landing her first big role on a popular children's cartoon, and her first girlfriend, she cannot escape survivor's guilt. Haunted by the death of a childhood friend, she joins the underground struggle for reproductive freedom. But when a fellow exile pleads for her help terminating a pregnancy, Paulina's public and private selves threaten to collide.
