A five star read and an eye opening book. It is my opinion that everyone should read this book. Although it is labelled as fiction, the experiences of the variety of characters in this book are not. They are someones reality, and that is the saddest part of all. This book follows the POV of five survivors of church run residential schools. Not yet adults, they are sent out into the world with minimal skills and torn away from their family and culture. As they continue to find their way in a world that views them as less than human, they form unbreakable bonds with each other and form their own paths while dealing with the trauma they faced as children. This book is beautifully written and I highly recommend it!
