A fast-paced literary eco-thriller about the power of resistance, the fine line between activism and terrorism, and what happens when things go too far. Set in 1993 on Vancouver Island, a group of idealistic young activists, determined to do whatever it takes to protect the environment, turn to sabotage. But in a single moment everything they've worked for goes horribly wrong, when a night watchman at a logging company warehouse is killed in an explosion that they set. Two Roads Home follows these activists as their lives-- and their cause-- spiral out of control. Author Daniel Griffin deftly reimagines history: what if, instead of the legendarily peaceful and successful Clayoquot Sound protests of the 1990s, things had gone too far? How far is too far, when it comes to protesting what one sees as injustice? And what happens when that line is crossed?
