From Publishers Weekly

In this cautionary tale about the dangers of teenage substance abuse, Hutchison tells how she became reconciled with the drunken teenage boy who killed her husband. On New Year's Eve 1997, in Squamish, British Columbia, Hutchison's husband, Bob, went with two male friends to check on an unsupervised teenagers' party nearby. When Bob attempted to get the crowd of intoxicated, drug-using adolescents to leave the house, he was punched and then kicked to death. A few years later, Ryan Aldridge admitted his guilt and offered letters of apology to the author and her children; he was sentenced to five years for manslaughter. The author takes readers through the aftermath of her husband's death, describing their love for each other despite the usual marital conflicts. She is forthright in recounting how she fell in love with her second husband, marrying him eight months after Bob's death. The most valuable part of this compelling memoir is Hutchison's healing emotional journey, which resulted in reconciliation with Ryan. While in prison (he is currently out on parole), Ryan began to participate with Hutchison in presentations about the dangers of teenage substance abuse. Hutchison has become an activist for restorative justice, which facilitates victim-offender reconciliation. (Oct.)

Book Description

On New Year's Eve in 1997, Bob McIntosh was murdered while trying to break up a teenagers' party at a friend's house. His wife, Katy, was left a widow with four-year-old twins. In the midst of her grief, and with remarkable courage and grace, Katy began an amazing journey of forgiveness. She recognized the need to educate teens about the risks arising from the combination of youth, alcohol and lack of supervision. She began speaking to schools and other groups about social responsibility, restorative justice and the transformative power of forgiveness.

Katy waited for five years while the police uncovered and convicted Bob's killers. Ryan Aldridge was charged with Bob's murder in 2002. Astoundingly, Katy reached out to Ryan, and they have since forged a powerful and unique relationship. Ryan has now joined Katy in her speaking engagements, and Katy supported his recent successful appeal for early parole.

Walking After Midnight is the extraordinary story of a life interrupted by unthinkable tragedy, and of Katy's commitment to turning the horror into a transformative gift. It offers a means for all of us to embrace fully the concepts of forgiveness and restorative justice.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A holy Journey, Oct. 3 2006
It is rare in this life to encounter a person capable of transforming great tragedy into glorious and uplifting success. Katy Hutchison is such a person. Her book is personal, so sad it is sometimes too hard to read through the tears, yet it takes the reader to the holiest of places in time, that of forgiveness and reconcilation. She truly does have a good heart! This book will certainly help the reader to priorize what is important and what is trivial in his or her life. And, if all this is not enough, Katy is a highly skilled writer, leading the reader from the present to the past and back again.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Katy Hutchison's Walking After Midnight: A Victim's Eye Review, Oct. 22 2006
Par Robert Seto (Maple Ridge, BC, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Think of the most heartbreaking experience that could befall you and your loved ones. For most of us, who has not thought that death sooner or later is an inevitable part of the cycle of life. Unavoidable and, sadly, part of the human condition. Somehow most of us adjust and cope over time. Grandparents, parents...the older generation. Even so, many do not go on so easily.

Think again if that death occurred prematurely before its expected time. An illness? Or accident? We all know someone in our lives whose dreams were not fully realized. We hope that fate never crosses our path and we are filled with sorrow when we hear these stories and feel their pain. For those left behind, there may have been no warning at all or, a slow agonizing decline imprinted in the minds of family and friends. Inevitable regrets, but hopes that there is a peaceful place somewhere beyond.

Now finally, consider if your loved one were to be taken from you at the hands of another in an act of violence: Murder -- a senseless and brutal death. Your life as you know it is gone forever and you feel cast into a pit of grief so unimaginably deep that you're unsure that you will ever find your way back out. Someone aptly described his emotions as like a "dead man walking" -- out of synch with those around you. Then at some point you realize your loved one and your old life is indeed "very dead".

Welcome to the world of victims and survivors of violence. Katy Hutchison is one and this is her story.

Let me say that it is my world as well and having had the great fortune to know Katy, as we cross paths in our efforts to heal ourselves and others, it was with some anticipation that I awaited the publication of her book.

For Katy, it was her husband Bob who was taken from her and her young twins. Bob had decided to visit a New Year's Eve house party, just to keep an eye on it for an absent friend, to do the "right thing" -- an unselfish act and one of concern. After all, who among us would want to interrupt their own celebration to deal with a rowdy gathering. Just call the police would be on the minds of most of us. Herein lies the moment. Katy's husband never returned. What was previously a comfortable middle class existence came crashing down and with it, any sense of normalcy, that life makes sense, that bad things shouldn't happen to good people and that the world is a safe place.

However, what follows is extraordinary and beyond the capacity of many to comprehend. Dickens said it before through David Copperfield: "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show." And so Katy does in her thoroughly candid and courageous account of the horrific event and the struggles of the succeeding years. She refuses to let this tragedy define her and feels no anger or desire for retribution. Instead she chooses a surprising and unimaginable path of compassion, forgiveness and reconciliation with Bob's murderer. Along her journey, relationships with family and friends are strained as they struggle to understand the choices she has made. She endures the scrutiny of the media who also have many angles to sensationalize this story: The "code of silence in Squamish. Katy's remarriage. The arrest after five long years of police investigation. The confession. The trial. The sentence. But not the end.

Katy feels compelled to turn her tragic circumstances into a personal mission to educate us all and young adults in particular about the need to make responsible choices. She tells the shocking "Story of Bob" to thousands of students all over the country and beyond. Katy's tale is the story behind the headlines that we've all been wanting to hear. At the end of the book I feel that I know this woman and fellow survivor intimately. Katy leads the way particularly for those of us following our own hearts in our personal journeys of restorative justice. Her book stands as a testimonial to the possibilities of moving beyond crime and punishment. and transforming survivors of violence into healers of the human spirit. This is a compelling story and a must-read for all of us.

'Walking After Midnight' is an inspiring story of one woman's journey through tragedy. Katy Hutchison's example of living a life without anger, using restorative justice to heal, is a reminder that forgiveness can be more rewarding than revenge. Her spirit, strength and grace are traits one can only hope to exhibit when faced with our own grief.
