From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way by Jesse Thistle

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring sad medium-paced
Jesse Thistle’s memoir is searing. It is the kind of book that makes you see your world, your country, your community, strangers and those you love - with clearer vision. There is power in the often straightforward way Thistle communicates his past to us, and as he does, he challenges stereotypes one by one, with candor and courage. I listened to this book and hearing Thistle read his work added to the intensity and impact of his life story. Difficult and highly recommended.
