Memories. Some memories are elusive, fleeting, like a butterfly that touches down and is free until it is caught. Others are haunting. Youd rather forget them, but they wont be forgotten. And some are always there. No matter where you are, they are there, too.In this moving story of legacy and reclamation, two young sisters are taken from their home and family. Powerless in a broken system, April and Cheryl are separated and placed in different foster homes. Despite the distance, they remain close, even as their decisions threaten to divide them emotionally, culturally, and geographically. As one sister embraces her Metis identity, the other tries to leave it behind.Will the sisters' bond survive as they struggle to make their way in a society that is often indifferent, hostile, and violent?Beloved for more than 40 years, In Search of April Raintree is a timeless story that lingers long after the final page. This anniversary edition features a foreword by Governor General's Awardwinning author Katherena Vermette, and an afterword by University of Regina professor, Dr. Raven Sinclair (tiskewpit), an expert on Indigenous child welfare.
