A coming of age story with a heroine who learns to choose grace, fellowship, stories, and joy when life is hard. Based on a true story, an Ojibwe girl fits within the literary tradition of Anne Shirley, Mary Lennox, and Sara Crewe. The story addresses everything from difficult girl friendships, stigmas about blended families, prejudice, and just the disappointments in life with the beauty of words that give hope.

This book is a difficult and sometimes graphic entry into generational cruelty and injustice that has often gone undiscovered and unchecked even in modern history. But it is also a book about how the integrity, resilience, sacrifice, and love in one heart can battle the forces of darkness and trauma that threaten to tear lives apart.
