This book is a reflective and tough read while still remaining hopeful that the survivors of residential schools (when given the resources and community help to heal) have the hope of finding some peace. It really highlights the resiliency of Indigenous peoples during canadas darkest moments in history. The love between children and parents, friends, and the power of community really hits home. It’s a tough but important read I will be recommending to everyone.
