A challenging read at points, this book highlights some dark points in recent Canadian history.  Written in the style of Genevieve Graham, this well-researched story hit a nerve for me, an adoptee from this era. While I am not a fan of multiple points of view or timelines, both devices were used to good effect in this novel. Recommended with potential trigger warnings.
