The journey of Truth and Reconciliation must include books like this, the ones that tell the sad and hard stories that nobody wants to think about for too long. that talk about the systematic racism that occurred and still occurs. That brings to light the goodness and real people that the victims were and the families are. Until everyone fully understands what happened in the past but is also happening right now the journey to Reconciliation is going to be much harder.
I avoided this book for a long time because I wanted to opt for books written by Indigenous authors but this was very respectfully done and well researched. I had known about the missing and murdered women and girls as well as the highway of tears but this provided so much more information including details about the women, girls, and their families. it is moving and tragic and leaves with a desire to do something.
Definitely recommend this book just as an eye opening read that gives you a small look into a huge problem.
