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?The first edition of In Search of April Raintree, published in 1984, has since touched many generations of readers, becoming a Canadian school classic. In this edition, ten critical essays accompany one of the best-known texts by an Indigenous author in Canada.
