From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way by Jesse Thistle

emotional reflective

5.0

I can't add much more other than it was an incredibly emotional read. If you're in the right emotional headspace I would absolutely recommend reading it. Especially if you are native, I would recommend taking care of yourself while reading this.
