Rose and her family--part of the Metis people--have lived on their lands for generations. She spends afternoons tracking rabbits and gathering roots with her best friend Ambroise, her little sister Dahlia tagging along. She loves to watch the ferry bring goods and news across the river to their town.
But when Rose's elders start speaking in hushed tones and her parents begin arguing over whether they should join the resistance, Rose worries that their lives and their lifestyle are at risk. Determined to help her community, Rose sets out on an adventure that will test her bravery in ways she never expected. She'll do anything to protect her family, her home, and her way of life.
In this adventurous, heart-warming historical fiction, award-winning author Carole Lindstrom centers Indigenous perspectives, giving readers a dramatic and heartfelt portrayal of real life on the prairie in the 1800s.
