Description
A finalist for the 2018 Toronto Book Award, this incisive collection of prose essays traces the questions Lee Maracle has carried since her earliest public conversations—questions too large to answer quickly, yet impossible to ignore. Drawing on her lived experience as a First Nations leader, a woman, a mother, and a grandmother, Maracle reflects on citizenship, segregation, labor, law, prejudice, and reconciliation, inviting readers to think alongside her rather than receive tidy conclusions. Her conversational, direct style turns personal history into a national mirror, challenging both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences to confront what Canada has been and what it could become. Part memoir, part civic reckoning, these essays offer strength, solidarity, and a demanding—often unsettling—path toward genuine allyship.
