A deeply moving memoir that carries the reader from the dark shadows of the Holocaust... into the joyous sunlight of languages and cultures, into a life of healing and of borders crossed...

Grace was always searching for shelter but knew that her home was the last place where she could find it. She was eager to be out there in the world, but at every turn had to battle the demons which permeated her home – hissing their frightening, grim messages.

Vivid and lyrical, Winter Light is dedicated to all those who are coming from places of trauma. It is about the vast unknown territory of the human heart, where love and hope can rise above everything.

Grace Feuerverger was born and raised in her beloved city of Montréal surrounded by a multitude of languages and cultures. She is professor emerita of education and ethnography at the University of Toronto, and taught courses on language, culture and identity as well as peace education for many years.

Among her many publications are two award-winning books: Oasis of Dreams (about a cooperative Jewish-Palestinian village in Israel) and Teaching, Learning and Other Miracles (about education as a sacred life journey).
