The Reason You Walk by Wab Kinew

5.0

WOW,
What an amazing, beautiful, incredible book.
I blazed through it in one evening, I just couldn't put it down.
Wab Kinew was just elected as Premier of Manitoba. I voted for him and thought I knew quite a bit about him..I didn't.
I didn't know Wab was so deeply part of his Indigenous culture and spirituality. His dad's story, and the story of their evolving relationship, was so touching and real. The journey of Indigenous residential school survivors and their families was also deftly woven into this tale.
Everyone needs to read this, especially those that have negative things to say about him based on his past. He freely acknowledges his past, and has healed and learned from it.
He's been a great leader to his people and I'm looking forward to what he can do for Manitobans.
