| | 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.
