Overview
This adventurous historical novel by bestselling author Carole Lindstrom offers readers a dramatic portrayal of a young Métis girl who takes a stand to protect her way of life.
Rose, her family, and the Métis people have lived on the land for generations. She spends afternoons tracking rabbits and gathering roots with her best friend and her little sister. She loves to watch the ferry arrive, delivering goods and news to their remote community.
But then Rose's elders start speaking in hushed tones and her parents discuss whether they should “join the resistance.” When she learns that the government wants to push the Métis off their land again, Rose fears that their lives, their entire lifestyle, are at risk. Determined to help, Rose sets out on an adventure that will test her bravery more than she ever expected. She'll do anything to protect her family, her home, and her way of life.
Set amid the Northwest Resistance of 1885, where the Métis people fought to defend their land, this powerful historical narrative illuminates the less often told side of history and gives a glimpse of Indigenous life on the prairie.
