Bevann’s Incredibly Important Novel
Fox’s story is, devastatingly, not unique. We know of the widespread oppression, harm and violence faced by generations of Indigenous people across the country. But Fox’s telling of her story is entirely unique, offering a bold and moving account of how she reclaimed her voice––and her ability to love free of the habits residential schooling ingrained within her.
