    Everyone knows everyone’s business in the small fishing community of Kitsum. So when young Brenda Joe fears she might be pregnant, she also worries that rumours will spread quickly. Things look up when Brenda’s favourite aunt, Monica returns to Kitsum for Christmas, although she is preoccupied with her own relationship problems. It’s become clear to her that the white man she’s been living with in Vancouver sees her as his ?Indian Princess,? his own exotic arm candy, and she’s had enough. When she learns about Brenda?s secret relationship with a local man, Monica is appalled and goes to set him straight. But is there more to this attractive loner and his hard-partying relations than meets the eye? Come spring, amid their secrets and betrayals, each family member will be tempted down to the water to collect herring eggs from artfully placed hemlock branches. The question is, will they be able to face one another?

  • Winter Child

    Winter Child

    By: Virginia Pésémapéo Bordeleau
    $21.95

    A visceral, luminous novel about a Métis woman tracing the life and death of her son.

    One late September day, amid the year’s first snowfall, the winter child is born. He does not breathe. His mother watches helplessly until “at last the baby uttered a first tentative croak like a frog unsure of spring’s arrival.”

    Then again, and again, and again, the winter child narrowly avoids death’s reach. But his mother knows: “he would be her wound, she would have to battle to keep him with her, to defend him against the worst of all enemies.”

    Originally published in French and told through alternating and overlapping memories, Winter Child is a powerful meditation on grief and life. With a poet and storyteller’s language, Virgina Pésémapéo Bordeleau traces a mother’s journey from devastation to strength, descending to the darkest inner depths, and finally finding the generosity of life and love.
