"--Cover.
Summary:
"Two Tears on the Window is Julia and Kevin Garratt's true story of their 775-day abduction and imprisonment in
China
as pawns in a political play between
China
, Canada and the United States. In August 2014 State Security agents grabbed them, accusing them of espionage. In shock, they were unaware of a Chinese spy arrest in Canada, giving the US "some leverage over
China
to bring a stop to more than a decade of rampant cybertheft" or that they'd become "bargaining chips in
China
's desperate countermove." This compelling story of a Canadian Christian couple who spent 30 years working and raising their family in
China
, involved in aid, education and social enterprise is a unique parallel journey. From the early days teaching English in a decade of ration coupons and collective work units, Kevin and Julia watched with admiration as
China
catapulted into the modern age with unprecedented speed. Well-loved in
China
, the Garratt's had always been thanked for their work in education, social welfare, social enterprises and community service. In 2007, along with two of their children, they moved to the
China
/North Korea border, opened a popular coffee shop and provided aid and assistance for marginalized communities in Dandong,
China
and North Korea. Their sudden disappearance plunged them into a journey where survival took every breath. Through their harrowing ordeal and intense suffering comes life-changing insight. They find themselves part of new community of those who've tasted yet overcome the pain of injustice. Courage and kindness, friendship and faith, resonates through the ordeal with the heartbeat of a love journey. Artfully written, Two Tears in the Window combines Kevin's gifted story-telling and humour with Julia's ability to let you see through their eyes and draw readers into deeply painful yet profoundly life-changing experiences."--Google books.
