Michelle Good and 2 other people liked Kent's review of Real Ones: "“Real One’s” is another excellent example of everything that is wrong with contemporary Canadian fiction.

Quotes by Michelle Good (?)

“There are no English words to describe how one woman walked into that lodge and another walked out. All Clara knew was that it took her back. Back to the birch grove and the angel songs. Back to who she was before Sister Mary, before the school, before they tried to beat her into a little brown white girl. She felt a certainty, from then on, that all the ones who had come before walked with her. Life was no longer just survival. It was about being someone. An Indian someone, with all the truth that was born into her at the moment she was placed in her mother's womb.”
― Michelle Good, Five Little Indians

“Do you pray Clara? Clara stiffened, the familiar rage rushing through her veins. Pray? You mean talk to myself and imagine some guy in the sky will make it all better?”

“The teachings show us that we learn and become strong through suffering. I can see that you are very strong. There is no shame in sadness.”
