- Leaving Wisdom / by Butala, Sharon,1940-author.;
"Leaving Wisdom begins with the wrong kind of bang when retiring social worker Judith falls on the way to her retirement party. Her ears still ringing and her strength compromised by a shaky recovery, Judith moves back to the town of Wisdom, Saskatchewan, near the farm where she grew up. There she confronts many unanswered questions: Why was her father, a World War Two veteran, so troubled? What are her brother and sister hiding from her? And more immediately, is a serious crime unfolding in the house next door? Small town bigotry and shady goings-on make Judith's search for answers even more bewildering. As she attempts to untangle the mysteries that ensare her at every turn, more complicated and wider ranging questions arise as she uncovers the truth about her damaged father. This thought-provoking and very readable tale depicts the suffering that comes from family secrets, and one woman's late-life awakening to the complex shadows cast by World War Two and the Holocaust."--Back cover.- Subjects: Psychological fiction.; Novels.; Families; Family secrets; Homecoming; Mothers and daughters; Small cities;
