Key Selling Points

  • It's a deeply personal and unique perspective on one residential-school experience in Canada. The author is Indigenous and this is her mother's story.
  • The author is Dakelh and a teacher in the Mission School District in British Columbia. She's also a mentor to other Indigenous teachers. She is donating the proceeds of the book to the Nak'azdli Whuten Elders Society.
  • The secret pocket is a living story. Every year this story is gifted to Indigenous university and high-school graduates in the Fraser Valley to ensure the legacy of the residential school experience is never forgotten.
  • The truth about residential schools is still being uncovered. In 2021 the remains of 215 children were found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, and since then thousands more unmarked graves have been discovered across Canada at former residential school sites.
  • The back matter includes a glossary of terms and an author's note about the origins of this story and how it continues to be shared today.
