She returns to her rural Alberta home after years away following the death her estranged mom. What starts as a quiet, peaceful funeral soon becomes something much more complex as carefully constructed narratives start to unravel. Beth finds objects in the abandoned bungalow where she spent her childhood that challenge her sanitized view of the past, forcing her to confront her memories of abuse, systemic failure, and neglect. Beth’s younger sibling is seriously injured in an accident. The present and the past collide. Beth’s summer of youth is relived as she stands by his hospital bed. It was a time of violence, silence and an unexpected refuge from a foster family who showed her a glimpse of hope and safety. The novel “What Remains After”, told in two timelines, is a deeply reflective work that explores the themes of betrayal and belief, the moral consequences to silence, and what forgiveness really means. It challenges readers to think about what remains after the truth is spoken, and whether healing is possible following profound harm. Pauline J. Grabia, a Canadian novelist, is known for her work on trauma, memory and faith. She also explores the complexities of human resilience. She is dedicated to telling stories which confront difficult truths, without sensationalism, while still seeking meaning and light. Originally conceived of as a short tale, “What Remains After”, grew into a novel after a cathartic and deeply personal writing process. Grabia’s narrative is not autobiographical. She draws on her own experiences and those of others in order to create a story that explores both the devastation caused by abuse and the possibility for grace and healing. “I wanted show that abuse and negligence do not have be the end,” she says. “There is always hope, even in the darkest of times,” she says. “What Remains after” is available at major book retailers as well as online platforms.
