Really good nonfiction book... the author is in the publishing world and within a short period of time suffered the theft of some family heirloom jewelry and the suicide of a close friend and confidante. The story is touching but told without ever getting too heavy and with an honest recollection of how two different types of loss ran parallel in her life and the way in which she grieved for both.


I wanted to like this more than I did, but I didn't. I won't be reading the rest of the series.

A young Anishinaabe girl learns that there are ancestor remains being held by a university, and they are refusing to give them back. Perry decides that she, her sister and their friends will steal them back.
It was a very slow moving book, for me. There was no real action until the last 80 or so pages. I enjoy the author's writing though. This was both an entertaining and informative read.
