Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore, Dream, Discover. –Mark Twain

Dispelling the Clouds: a desperate experiment
Press Release:
      Wilma Derksen, is  launching her newest book, Dispelling the Clouds. A Desperate
Social Experiment, her story of tragedy, trauma and forgiveness, on September 14, 2020. 
    “This book explores and shares my journey to forgiveness- what has turned out to be a controversial and often misunderstood–by the wider public and the victim community–choice,” says Derksen.  I hope sharing my story will provoke more thinking and more difficult conversations, more honesty and understanding about approaches to  justice and restoration of both victim healing and offenders.” 
      The book chronicles events after the murder of Derksen’s daughter, Candace, in 1984.  The narrative documents the author’s search for answers, justice and peace and her work to advocate for victims of violence; to–in the author’s words–“dispel the clouds”.
