“A riveting work by the Canadian author, Michele Riml, recipient of the JESSIE RICHARDSON AWARD 2008!
In Rage a pacifist school counselor is tested to the limits when confronted by a radical, suicidal student. How far would she go to defend her principles?A gripping duel between an adult and a teenager. A violent clash of values and viewpoints. Peace vs violence and fear vs courage. Extreme circumstance, extreme choice and a shocking finale.
