The Reason You Walk: A Memoir by Wab Kinew

4.0

A moving story about resilience, forgiveness, culture and the strength of family. Wab's father, a residential school survivor, endured years of horror at the hands of others and as a result, was filled with anger as a young man. Wab tells the story of his father's journey through reconciliation and forgiveness and ties in his own personal story as well. I absolutely loved learning about the Anishinaabe culture, and getting to know Wab's family, whom he speaks so warmly and candidly about that I felt like I knew them. I stayed up late last night to finish and shed a few tears at the end. Touching and important - I highly recommend this one!
