Five Little Indians

Residential schools have been a hot topic lately, and rightly so. This book shows not only the horrors that existed in those schools, but also the repercussions that those who were forced into these schools had to cope and deal with. You get a wide variety of actions through the different characters, so you do get some light through the darkness. Definitely one I would recommend. Took me by surprise.

There are a handful of chapters in this book that are just really sad and difficult to read. Then again, thats part of the point. As this book walks readers through the lives of 5 residential school survivors, we come alongside some people in some really dark moments.

Then again, be encouraged that there is light, healing, and beauty in this book as well.
