Shortlisted, East Coast Literary Award and Evelyn Richardson Prize
for Non-FictionIt was over in seconds. In the early hours of
January 12, 2008, seven members of a high school basketball team
and their coach's wife died instantly when their school van
collided with a tractor trailer. Travelling in dirty weather,
minutes from their Bathurst, New Brunswick, homes, the impact
forever shattered the lives of eight families and their community.
In the weeks that followed the horrific crash, two women who lost
their sons in the accident forged a bond. Ana Acevedo and Isabelle
Hains were transformed by their unimaginable grief into unlikely
agents of courage and change. It was Isabelle and Ana who pushed
the provincial government into holding an inquest into the
accident. It was Isabelle and Ana who pushed the province into
following the recommendations of that inquest. And it was Isabelle
and Ana who made it safer for children to travel to extracurricular
activities, in New Brunswick and across the country. A gripping
story told in heartbreaking detail, Driven reveals the truth behind
one of this country's worst school tragedies, and the two women who
fought for justice in the name of their sons.
