Episode 23: Carys Cragg

Reflecting on her journey through healing, Carys Cragg shares her experience of meeting the man who murdered her father. Carys' first book, titled “Dead Reckoning: How I Came to Meet the Man Who Murdered My Father”, tells the story of her correspondence and meeting with the incarcerated man who murdered her father when she was 11 years old. It was a Globe & Mail Best 100 Book of 2017, finalist for the 2018 Hubert Evans BC Book Prize, and finalist for the 2018 Governor General's Literary Award.

Carys is faculty and coordinator in the Child & Youth Care degree program at Douglas College and is currently completing her Doctor of Education in educational leadership.

Dedicating this episode to her father, Carys addresses complex trauma, loss and the gifts that can be discovered when we face our fears.
