Summary:
"At 4:00 a.m. on a secluded farm, a woman fights to take her life back from a serial killer as her desperate sister and a haunted police officer reach across time and distance in an attempt to rescue her."--Back cover.
"In 2010 a serial killer was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder, but the remains or DNA of a further twenty-seven women were found on his pig farm outside the city of Vancouver... Althought these events served as the catalyst for Pig Girl, the play itself is a work of imagination."--From the Author's Preface.

Her plays include The December Man (L’homme de décembre) - winner of the 2007 Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama, Pig Girl, Beating Heart Cadaver, The Goodnight Bird, and The Piper, among others.
