by Sarah Lord on Tuesday July 13 2021 Pat Henman received a Canada Council for the Arts grant to adapt her book into a dramatic piece that is touring the Columbia Basin, thanks to a Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance grant. Pat Henman’s memoir “Beyond the Legal Limit: Surviving a collision with a drunk driver” was published in the winter of 2021 by Caitlin Press. This searingly honest portrait of a mother and daughter surviving a head-on collision details Pat and Maia’s catastrophic injuries, challenges for the entire family, and their determination to rebuild meaningful lives. Over the last couple of years, Henman has been hard at work creating a theatrical presentation based on her memoir. She is currently touring this presentation around the Columbia Basin.
