challenging dark sad medium-paced

4.0

Not an easy read. Content warnings of language and sexual assault. Traumatic story told from the various perspectives of a family of Metis women. It is sad and dark but the strength, love, care, and ultimately hope for the future these women have for each other and their families carries the story.
