Description
Taken from his Ojibwe family at the age of three and passed through a series of white foster homes, Garnet Raven grows up with a persistent ache—alongside unanswered questions about identity, belonging, and what was stolen from him. When a devastating loss and an unexpected return force his life to pivot, he must face the long-reaching effects of colonial power and the emotional cost of displacement. With Richard Wagamese’s compassionate, lyrical storytelling, the novel traces Garnet’s struggle to reclaim his story and build a fragile, hard-won path toward family and selfhood. At its heart, this is a deeply human postcolonial journey about resilience, cultural truth, and the healing that can begin when reconnection finally becomes possible.
