KIM FIRMSTON is a writer and creative writing instructor in Calgary, AB. Her short story Life Before War was shortlisted for the 2008 CBC Literary Awards.
Firmston is one of few authors who writes about schizophrenia from a teen's point of view. The fear of not knowing is what underlies this story and is what makes this a page-turner. --Sherry Rampey VOYA (U.S.) (11/28/2011) Rated G - Good, even great at times, generally useful! The home life [of the main characters is described in all its horrendous detail to make it real for the reader who may not have lived with mental illness.--Patricia Jermey Resource Links (12/01/2011) Kim Firmston has crafted a YA novel that has a simple plot and lots of depth. She brings up many rich and complex themes, such as the tension between home and school life, which makes this book a worthwhile read...viivid and uncompromising. High school teens who like books that have depth and grit will enjoy this book Highly Recommended.--Mark Mueller CM: Canadian Review of Materials (02/03/2012)
