This was a beautiful and heartbreaking story above loss, love and family. With its simple yet resonant prose, we follow a Mi’kmaq family over generations and how the disappearance of their youngest daughter Ruthie haunts them for decades. We also see how Ruthie grew up with a white family, never knowing who she was but always knowing something wasn’t right. This is a story about grief and how it can lead people to do terrible things, but it is also a story about how forgiveness and love can help people move on. This book was absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend.
