pickSadly none of the five facilities he ended up serving his 9 year sentence in had any sort of rehabilitation programs. He was left on his own to maintain his sanity while also becoming an adult. Fortunately he had books that helped along the way though they were only part of his journey. After his release he attended Yale and becomes the founder of the FreedomReads.org program. This was very well written and enlightening. I highly recommend.
"And the thing was, the victims race was the whole point of the story. White cop, white victim. It didn't matter if the gun, the fear, the robbery didn't resolve the oppression that was felt as much as that we were passing on to each other a warped way of dealing with anger that we didn't know we had."

so-soLoved the story but the prose and dialogue was a bit stilted at times. Still, anytime an Indigenous woman gets revenge on white men, I‘m all in.
pickI finished this book in two days, I couldn‘t put it down. This is such an amazing book. I love reading books from Canadian authors about Canada. I loved that even though it was fiction the whole essence of the book is about indigenous culture. It had all the elements I love, romance, suspense and culture.
pickI love this cover. I found the writing didn‘t always hold me , but I was moved & fascinated by the story of Wren , a Cree woman , an artist who is pushed over the edge. Set in Saskatchewan I felt a sense of place & of deep sadness that an Indigenous woman could go missing & no one cared. Wren cared. Full of dreams , A dark fairytale feel to this one.

pickLoved this book, can‘t wait to see what happens next. Would make a great film franchise
pickWhat can I say about this book was brilliant 5 ⭐️‘s all the way - now to read Day 7
I got the last book in the series from #NetGalley so thought it was best I got started on the series sharpish
There‘s tightness in my chest. Hotness. Like nerves walking in the dark at night, or a knock at the door when I‘m home alone.
