PRAISE FOR CONVICTIONS:

“Convictions is a novel about a history of women which is not often told. It is built around the sotry of young women prisoners and the discrimination they face aboard a ship that determines their fate. With strong character development and a compelling story, this historical fiction is a welcome addition to young adult literature.” – Judges, Saskatchewan Book Award for Publishing in Education

“Taking place almost entirely aboard ship, Convictions rises to the challenge it sets itself: the  brutal 1842 story of a girl’s journey to a penal colony gains momentum at every turn and sees its protagonist take a leadership role against all odds.” – Judges, Saskatchewan Book Award for Young Adult Literature
