| | Synopsis
|
Twelve-year-old Violet Pesheens is taken away to Residential School in
1966. The diary recounts her experiences of travelling there, the
first day, and first months, focusing on the everyday life she
experiences — the school routine, battles with Cree girls, being
quarantined over Christmas, getting home at Easter, and reuniting with
her family. When the time comes to gather at the train station for the
trip back to the residential school, her mother looks her in the eye
and asks, "Do you want to go back, or come with us to the trapline?"
Violet knows the choice she must make.
