- Notes
- "'Lety's Gift' is the story of Lety's daughter, Sophie Hawkins, who was born in northern Newfoundland. Orphaned at an early age, Sophie suffers abuse from successive caregivers. She discovers that she has a psychic gift that is viewed as a curse rather than a blessing and eventually leads to he breakdown. Sophie's psychiatrist ... facilitates her healing from her traumatic childhood, enables her to use her gift of prophecy and healing, and becomes her spiritual mentor, inspiring her to go into the Anglican priesthood where she succeeds in becoming a bishop". "In both novels ['Passup Point' and 'Lety's Gift'], Coralie Hughes Jensen captures the desolate beauty of Newfoundland and Labrador and introduces us to the culture and the economic realities. He novels are full of contemporary church issue with which Anglicans can identify."
