Betty Krawczyk’s New Book is finally here! 

THIS  DANGEROUS PLACE
My Journey Between the Passions of the Living and the Dead  

While imprisoned for Contempt of Court in the spring of 2003, Betty
Krawczyk searched for understanding into the reasons for her actions. Had she signed a paper promising not to go back to the Walbran Valley where she was arrested for blockading logging trucks with her group, Women in the Woods, she would have been released from prison until trial. But she refused. Her own stubbornness and
intransigence before the courts of British Columbia baffled everybody, including Krawczyk herself.

This Dangerous Place  poses these questions: What is the source of the human will? And an even more elusive question: to what degree can humans interact with the dead? Do the passions of people long dead still hang around in certain situations and seek to interfere with the lives of the living? This book asks these questions from lived experience. The answers may belong to the future. This is a true story.

"Betty Krawczyk was born in 1928 and raised in East Baton Rouge Parish in Louisiana, swamp land and red neck country. I certainly was not raised to be a protester," she says. "I was raised a poor, country, southern white woman." Before her Daddy became a preacher, he was a peddler of tonics. His Liberty Tonic was supposed to be good for whatever ailed you. "I think the main ingredients of Liberty Tonic were iron and Castor oil and Mississippi River mud," she writes."
~ B.C. Bookworld

"Her book grabs you in the first few pages and shoves you into the brain of the writer...More than anything else Krawczyk is a woman who loves without reservation. She is as tough as tree spikes when it comes to fighting for what she believes in, but it is not the self-righteous fighting of those who have condescended to get involved, it is the raw fight of the mother fox who sense that the world threatens her children."

~ Monday Magazine

"Betty Krawczyk's voice from behind bars in Canadian jail speaks more profoundly about our future than thousands of pundits and politicians free on the outside. She has used her jail time well, gained insights, and honed her message...She is a true modern heroine". 

~ Rex Weyler, Author "Greenpeace: The Inside Story"
