This may be a short graphic novel at only about 40 pages, but the story and conversation this brings to readers are compelling. Residential schools are something that most of us have heard about before, including myself, but having the horrors and atrocities put on pages with illustrations accompanying them was so powerful and heartbreaking. 

Thank you, Elder Betty Ross, for sharing your story. 

This graphic novel would be beneficial to use as a conversation text for high school, and even college, classrooms.
