DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

 

1.Jo Oliver struggles with her faith. Gino serves as her spiritual mentor. What faith struggles do you experience? Who do you turn to when you need to work through your faith issues?

 

2.How does Jo Oliver cope with the pain of betrayal in her life? Do you think she works to avoiding feeling pain? What do you do to avoid feeling pain? What can you do to begin growing through that area of your life?

 

3.Part of Jo’s journey has to do with reconciliation with her past, and with her faith. What does she do to make peace with her past and what part does her faith play in this process?

 

4.Jo Oliver is a strong female leader in a man’s world. Does she face gender discrimination? What examples support your response?

 

5.Do you think the portrayal of Jo Oliver as a female police chief is realistic? Why or why not?

 

6.Jo Oliver’s struggle to become a mother to Samantha is a constant theme. What are some of her fears related to motherhood? How does she overcome them? Do these fears resonate with your own experience?

 

7.The tension between Jo and Nick ebbs and flows, as do Jo’s feelings toward him. Why do you think she is so ambivalent about his role in her life? How do you think she really feels about him? What do you think she really wants?

 

8.Have you ever felt extreme ambivalence in a relationship? How did you handle it?

 

9.Justice is an underlying theme throughout Shattered Masks. At one point, Kira suggests that some people deserve to die. Do you think doing what is clearly the wrong thing is ever justified?

 

10.  Jo Oliver has built a strong network of caring friends who stand by her in the midst of difficult circumstances. What do you see her doing to nurture her relationships with others? What do you do to keep your own personal sense of community strong?
