A Crack in the Pavement

Have you ever wondered what that bag lady on the street is harbouring in her bag? Do you ever wonder how she got there? Sheila Traventi is a happily married mother when her life takes a tragic twist. After discovering she is pregnant with a baby who is missing a chromosome, she decides to terminate her pregnancy. Unable to leave the hospital without her baby, she conceals it in a department store paper bag, steals it from the hospital and embarks upon a journey through the streets of Toronto. After burying the baby and returning to her normal life, she is forced to confront old ghosts and new demons when her baby's body is discovered nine years later. Based in part on a true story, this thrilling tale, at times heartbreaking, at others humorous, is a must-read.
