Peace by Piece

Sue Divin is a Derry based writer and community relations worker who has much to say about the impact of post conflict life on communities.
She has recently published her first novel Guard Your Heart; it focusses on the relationships of young people brought up post Good Friday Agreement & how segregation, labels & subconscious prejudices still take their toll.
Sue, whose writing often touches on themes of identity, diversity and reconciliation, is currently working on her second novel - Truth Be Told.
In this conversation she chats about why she is totally committed to peacemaking and sparking conversations that lead to altered perspectives. She also opens up about challenges in her home life that have deepened her empathy, as well as her desire to write from the heart.
