We Rip the World Apart

A multi-generational story about motherhood, race and secrets in the lives of three women. Kareela, prompted by fear and uncertainty about the new life she carries, must come to terms with the mysteries surrounding her family's past and the need to make sense of both her identity and her future.

Charlene Carr spent much of her childhood creating elaborate, multi-faceted storylines for her dolls and reading under the blankets with a flashlight when she was supposed to be asleep. A bit of a nomad, she's lived in four countries and seven Canadian provinces. After working an array of mostly writing related jobs, she decided the time had come to focus exclusively on her true love - novel writing. She lives in Nova Scotia with her husband and daughters. We Rip the World Apart is her eleventh novel.
