Dans cet ouvrage intimiste, Michel Bastarache se confie sur son enfance en Acadie et ses multiples incarnations professionnelles avant de devenir le premier juge acadien à siéger à la Cour suprême du Canada.

Dans une lettre qu’il adresse à ses deux enfants, morts d’une maladie incurable, Me Bastarache raconte sa constante lutte pour l’égalité des communautés francophone et anglophone. Il revient sur son engagement au sein des groupes de défense des francophones hors Québec, puis sur sa carrière de professeur, de fonctionnaire, d’avocat et de juge. Il entraîne le lecteur dans les coulisses de ses plus importantes causes et révèle certains secrets du plus haut tribunal canadien.

Me Bastarache réagit également à la polémique entourant la Commission d’enquête sur le processus de nomination des juges du Québec et sur son travail de médiateur dans le processus de réconciliation et de compensation pour les victimes alléguées d’agressions sexuelles par d’anciens prêtres au Nouveau-Brunswick.

La version originale française est disponible aux Presses de l'Université d'Ottawa.
