Fact In Fiction
NANCY WRIGHT
This instalment of Fact In Fiction features Dream Catcher: The Call Home by upcoming ‘mainstream’ Canadian novelist Bob Chrismas—criminologist (PhD), founding leader of Winnipeg’s newly established Community Safety Team and recently retired from 34 years in the Winnipeg Police Service. In this sequel to his first novel, The River of Tears (see JR 37.4), Bob sets the stage by fathoming the power of change: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man…” (Heraclitus, in the Epigraph). Dream Catcher not only exposes Human Trafficking’s reliance on negative change, but it also illustrates the exponential impact of positive change.
