Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese

5.0

---

This book is beautifully written, captivating and devastating all at once. It tells pieces of atrocious stories that need to be told, about children who were ripped from their families and traditions and forced into residential schools. This book looks at the impact of the traumas faced in those schools. Wagamese brings the reader on a journey through a child's discovery of his passion for hockey and how it provides an escape. A gut-wrenching read that gives a glimmer of home in the midst of horrific events.
