Contemporary novel of two Métis sisters and their search for an
identity. Suitable for a grade 10-12 audience, this novel tells the
story of two sisters who were victims of the residential school
system, separated from their family and from each other. As adults,
each sister deals with the situation quite differently: one remains
true to her Indigenous roots while the other tries to fit into
society. This emotionally-charged story of healing and hope presents
the reality facing Indigenous people today, many of the stereotypes
about Indigenous peoples, and the legacy of residential schools in
Canada.
