Recomendation
Building Bridges
By Marie Dunlop
The heart was getting ripped out of Anderson, just as it had been ripped out of Billy. Decisions have to be made, loyalties examined and painful truths faced. Better days were coming, however, in the promise of new corporation housing and it is against this backdrop of demolition and renewal that Building Bridges opens.
