A search for belonging and healing

Nadie, a young member of a Cree band, begins the story skeptical of her community’s traditions. After a tragedy, she leaves the reservation seeking a different life, and encounters prejudice, discrimination, and incarceration. Her journey brings her back to questions of identity, tradition, and what healing might mean. The premise places a coming-of-age search for wholeness alongside the pressures Nadie faces both within her community and beyond it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in coming-of-age fiction.
  • Readers seeking fiction centered on Cree identity, community, and tradition.
  • Readers interested in stories about grief, prejudice, and healing.

Book overview

Abject poverty. Utter tragedy. What if the only way to find yourself is to lose who you thought you were?

Life on a reservation isn't easy.

Nadie is a bright young teen that scorns the ways of her Cree band.

Neglect and abuse are all too common. When tragedy strikes, tradition and ritual provide her little comfort.

Grief-stricken, Nadie sets off on a quest to the white man's land in search of something better.

Something more.

Instead, she finds darkness. Prejudice and discrimination.

Incarceration.

In her search for wholeness, Nadie discovers that traditions might be more than just empty rituals.

They can be the path to healing and the journey home.

A poignant, Native American Cree saga, full of all the feels. Perfect if you love a heartfelt coming-of-age story that encourages healing from the roots up.
