Love and Death
in the Valley
by Kevin Annett
is a contemporary
David and Goliath tale that will inspire and challenge the reader. It
is the personal story of Reverend Kevin Annett, the minister who single-handedly
exposed the murder and genocide of aboriginal people by the government
of Canada and his employer, the United Church of Canada. This book is
his own gripping and passionate account of his heroic efforts against
insurmountable odds to document hidden crimes among west coast native
people after he began a ministry among them in Port Alberni, British Columbia
in 1992.
It describes how Kevin was fired and then expelled from his church after
asking "too many questions" about the deaths of native children
in his church's "residential schools". But the narrative shows
how Kevin per-severed in the face of a blacklisting and smear campaign
against him by both church and state, and brought to light the crimes
of genocide that both institutions want to remain "hidden from history".
This book is a tale of one man's victory over lies and corruption. Its clear message is that one person can indeed make a difference.
