I am SO GLAD this book was selected for Canada Reads 2022 because otherwise, it would not have crossed my path. And I am SO GLAD I read this. I learned. I ached. I grieved. I questioned myself. I learned some more.
This book is gut-wrenchingly candid, profoundly forthright, relevant, important, generous in spirit, informative and unapologetic. If you need to do some colonization unlearning, I HIGHLY recommend this book. Go in with an open mind and an open heart. It won't hurt so much.
