Shattered

Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Ian Must Complete Community Volunteer Service To Pass Social Studies. Choosing To Work At The Club Sounds Like Fun, Until He Arrives At What Turns Out To Be A Soup Kitchen For The Homeless. It Is Here That He Meets Sarge, The Pipe-wielding Homeless Man Who Saved Ian From A Near-mugging. His Real Name Is Jacques, And He Was A Soldier In The Canadian Armed Forces. His Last Tour Of Duty Was As A Peacekeeper Stationed In Rwanda, An African Nation Ian Knows Little About. What He Learns Will Change Ian's View Of The World--and May Just Help Jacques, Too. With A Foreword By Lieutenant-general Romeo Dallaire (ret'd), Force Commander For The United Nations Mission To Rwanda, Shattered Is An Unforgettable Story, One That Asks What One Person Can Do To Make A Difference.
