| | Synopsis
|
How can Shane reconcile his feelings for David with his desire
for a better life? Shane is still reeling from the suicide of his kid
sister, Destiny. How could he have missed the fact that she was so
sad? He tries to share his grief with his girlfriend, Tara, but she's
too concerned with her own needs to offer him much comfort. What he
really wants is to be able to turn to the one person on the rez whom
he loves—his friend, David. Things go from bad to worse as Shane's
dream of going to university is shattered and his grieving mother
withdraws from the world. Worst of all, he and David have to hide
their relationship from everyone. Shane feels that his only chance of
a better life is moving to Toronto, but David refuses to join him.
When yet another tragedy strikes, the two boys have to make difficult
choices about their future together. With deep insight into the life
of Indigenous people on the reserve, this book masterfully portrays
how a community looks to the past for guidance and comfort while
fearing a future of poverty and shame.
