NOTES
Finalist, Alexander Kennedy Isbister Award for Non-Fiction Finalist, Mary Scorer Award for Best Book by a Manitoba Publisher With a foreword by Beatrice Mosionier. Abandonment, loss, endless transitions, self-reliance, continued persistence, and fierce beauty all coexist in this compelling collection of stories of ten women who journey from victims of the child welfare system to survivors, and beyond. These women face endless challenges, oppression, and trauma but discover their power through creativity, self-awareness, education, motherhood, and extreme empathy
