A Métis Woman’s Memoir of Family, Identity and Walking Herself Home
Brittany Penner
Métis writer Penner thoughtfully and beautifully tells the story of how she was adopted by a Mennonite family near the end of the Sixties Scoop, how she loved and lost 21 Indigenous foster siblings by the time she was seven years old, and the effect that had on her ability to believe she truly and permanently belonged in her family. Even as an adult, after success in school and relationships, this basic insecurity will interfere with her life until she finds a path to healing.
