This beautiful, brave, and liberating book is a triumph of the
spirit. Engrossing and exquisitely written, it shines with rare
courage and a tender, life-saving wisdom that comes only through
facing the darkness we suffer or inflict on others. It is a
marvelous story whose characters I am glad to have in my life.
Joanna Macy
Author, World as Lover, World as Self
Allan Johnson's illumination of the mind of a woman recovering
from horrific abuse and loss is miraculous, carried by a story that
is both gripping and inspiring. It is a stunning achievement.
Jean Kilbourne
Creator of the award-winning film series, Killing Us Softly
Allan Johnson's writing is moving, insightful, and deeply human.
He takes us inside painful lives with courageous truth-telling, yet
at the same time takes us inside of characters who can heal and
thrive. This is a novel that rings true, and that we need urgently
to take into our hearts.
Lundy Bancroft
Author, Why Does He Do That?
The First Thing and the Last portrays an extraordinary woman who
is brutalized - but the abuse becomes her sorrow and not her
identity in Allan Johnson's complex, masterful and exacting
understanding of such a woman's life. His ability and willingness
to see so deeply, to portray a woman and her story so profoundly,
takes our breath away. Welcome this extraordinary and most original
novelist to the ranks of American literature.
