Kidnapped, gagged and locked in a closet, six-year-old Beverley Boissery hoped for rescue with the fierce yearning of a wounded child. Through this experience, she learned that, no matter how bleak the situation, hope would sustain and support her. This transformational memoir is funny, poignant and, at times, desolate.

About the Author:
Beverley Boissery was born in Sydney, Australia and educated in the United States, Australia and Canada. She is a brilliant throwback to Renaissance times. She has been an athlete, poet, and international coach. She holds a PhD in history, has published novels and scholarship in legal history, created a publishing house, taught every grade except grade 1, and been an Anglican lay speaker, amongst many other accomplishments. In The Temerity of Hope, she recounts the tale of her fascinating life including her late life commitment to the Christian faith she was raised in. Her writing has won various awards, including a literary grant from the Canada Council and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Surrey International Writers Conference. She now lives in Vancouver, Canada with her feline friend, Penny.
Review:

“Beverley Boissery is unusually gifted and versatile as a scholar, writer, teacher and organizer. She is infectiously joyful in her faith, of which she makes no secret. Humility and others-centeredness, common sense and energy, with a youthfulness of style unusual in a person of her age, are the marks of her character. She makes an impact on those she serves.”

J.I. Packer, Rev. Canon, D. Phil., D.D., Board of Governors Professor of Theology, Regent College.

 

"Beverley Boissery is a gifted storyteller. Her memoir is electrifying in its troubles and triumphs."

Luci Shaw, poet, author, Thumbprint in the Clay
