One of 16 personal accounts that were published in the book: 'Up Standing: Stories of courage from Northern Ireland'. (2013).

"Jane describes the challenges of being active in a community that is under tight control. Jane attends meetings of a local community association with some friends and despite the hostility she faces, continues to attend to try and make her town a more inclusive place to live. Jane talks of how her faith supported her, but how challenging reconciliation can be. The activities Jane describes would have taken place in 2000s to the present."
