Beautiful book about surviving being broken down and building yourself back up to ultimately discover the possibility of recovery. Enjoyed the hockey and the mock memoir aspects of the narrative - both captivating and personal. 

Une histoire touchante et trop près de la réalité de ce qui a été vécu chez les Ojibwés et autres communautés autochtones vivant au Nord de l’Ontario dans les années 1960. Un livre qui ouvre les yeux et qui nous fait suivre le chemin d’un jeune garçon, Saul Indian Horse.
