Black & Blue - Yasmin H. Chinoy

Two lives. Two passions. Two unrelated true life experiences playing their rolls miles apart, one in Niagara Belt and the other in the Ottawa Valley. Two lives derailed from their paths in life; one high profile of a coloured cop unjustly accused of crime he did not commit, the other of a female farmer trampled by male chauvinism as she dared to enter a man's world; both having fallen concurrently through the cracks of society's safeguards and its unspoken prejudices. A heart-rending account of two human lives played out with indeterminate strength and determination in the face of failed trust in those that represent our judicial system, greed in the guise of Animal Welfare officials, and bully-ism beyond belief.
