They include students, politicians, ex-security force members, victims and survivors, former paramilitaries, business people, religious leaders, community workers, writers and many others.

She gives space to the Lundys, those who find in banishment the freedom to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a vivid and multi-layered portrait of a surprisingly diverse and fluid community.
