With startling clarity and a surprising sense of humour, Klewchuk takes readers behind the curtain of a difficult upbringing and all-encompassing religious environment in Northern Alberta, then shines a light on challenges she faced as a new recruit into a nightlife industry rife with abuse. This portrait of an artist-in-waiting continues as the author travels through Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia, adapting her still-malleable identity on the fly as she begins to take hold of her creativity and voice. \u003ci\u003eStanding in the Footprints of Beasts\u003c\/i\u003e is a striking work of non-fiction that seeks to give readers company in their pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKlewchuk, Danica:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eDanica Klewchuk lives in Edmonton, Alberta.
