This is a book that everyone should read, especially Canadians. The topic of residential schools is a tough one but it is an incredibly necessary one, and the least we can do today is listen to the stories that came from them, to the children who were smothered by them. Wagamese did a phenomenal job at telling Indian Horse's story and showing through the revelation of certain memories years after the fact, how abuse can effect someone. Saul is a strong character, and he will never leave my mind. I will be thinking of his story forever.
