Working With Available Light: A Family's World After Violence

by Jamie Kalven

On a golden autumn afternoon, photographer Patricia Evans, out for a run on Chicago's lakefront, was attacked by a man who severely beat and sexually assaulted her. Patricia's husband, Jamie Kalven, has written the story of a family shipwrecked in the midst of everyday life, struggling each in their own way to make sense of the violence that has entered their lives. This courageous and compelling account covers a period of five years, during which Evans remaps the world in light of the terrible knowledge inflicted on her and regains her place in it.
