Worthy, my second novel, is about sin, secrets, shame and solitude explored via the life of a 15-year-old rape victim in WWII outport Newfoundland while this island was still a dominion of Great Britain and while U-boats circled like hawks in the nearby North Atlantic Ocean.
Here's what reviewers had to say about my book:
Worthy is a "detailed and convincing portrait of a conflicted Newfoundland family in the 1940s, set in a rugged, salty and storm-lashed setting that comes clearly to the senses," wrote one reviewer. "Events unfold with satisfying suspense and a good grasp of how and when to add fresh complications to the mix."
Author, Bobbie Smith, exposes the deep-seated belief systems in isolated families and communities that trap women. Smith exposes a dark era for North American women who became pregnant and were sent away to 'homes' for unwed mothers to 'make this go away.' In Worthy, the protagonist, Sarah is thrown into such a situation, but it does not turn out as you'd expect.
