About this listen
Two young sisters are taken from their home and family. Powerless to change their fortunes, they are separated, and each put into different foster homes. Yet over the years, the bond between them grows. As they each make their way in a society that is, at times, indifferent, hostile, and violent, one embraces her Métis identity, while the other tries to leave it behind. In the end, out of tragedy, comes an unexpected legacy of triumph and reclamation.
Bespeak Audio Editions brings Canadian voices to the world with audiobook editions of some of the country’s greatest works of literature, performed by Canadian actors.

Recommend
I had to read this for a first nation's studies class and feel in love with it. 7 years later I finally downloaded this app and still love this love. I recommend those who enjoy interest i this study to read this.

First book, first review
I'm glad I listened to it. It's actually the first book I listened to from the app. I think the story was very well written and narrated. It had a lot of sad parts and a lot of parts that made you think and have compassion and understanding.

Have always loved this book!
I read this book many years ago (probably not long after it was first written). I have recommended it to many. It is a deeply touching story.

Loves this Book!!
This book was so amazing I couldn't put it down. I relate to it so much, being a "halfbreed" myself and experiencing a lot of that kind of stuff myself. A book I will definitely recommend to others. Very pleased with my purchase. The narrator does a good job as well. ♡♡♡

Moving, raw and inviting
Great piece of Indigenous writing I am not surprised it won awards and has been a Canadian staple for years. It could hardly put it down. With the exceptions of the violent acts in Chapter 11 which I did not read, it was an amazing book. Well done.

heart breaking what these children go thru
this was one of the saddest stories I have listened to. Living close to a couple of Reserves, I see the struggles, but you never really know the back ground. I couldn't help but feel the sadness and turmoil these girls went thru.

This book needs to be a movie.
This book is so important. I’ve read it 2 times and will most likely do it again. It’s such an emotional experience and relatable too.

Great listen.
Love the book and have read it multiple times, listening to it is completely different. I picked up on things I didn't remember from reading the book myself. The narrator did a good job telling the story. It was almost like you were there with April while she was reading.

heartwrenching and encouraging
the prejudice in our culture is so sad, but I love reading/listening to books that expose this.

Great
I totally enjoyed this novel as well as the narrator! Since hearing the atrocities and torture in the Canadian Residential Schools, I have a keen interest in the discoveries of the information and murdered children. These indigenous children and their families have suffered nothing short of a holocaust.
I am reading their publications to try to show support as well as offer my apologies for our countries wrong doing!
