Book signing to follow.Doors open at 6:30pm; event begins at 7:00pm.Join us for an unforgettable evening with one of Canada's most beloved writers.From the award-winning and bestselling author of Five Little Indians comes a powerful family saga following three generations of Cree women and the storytelling tradition that connects them to each other.“In a sweeping, generational epic, Michelle Good captures the lived experiences of First Nations women caught in the mouth of genocide. Eliza Sunshine moves beautifully, sorrowfully and literally through the devastation of the buffalo slaughter and its aftermath on families, focusing on the impact on women. However, the backbone of this book is not loss, but love—the endless love of mothers and their insistence that we survive to tell our truths. Eliza Sunshine will fill you with hope, anger and pride. All First Nations women are descendants of warriors; their matriarchal power speaks through us, is never forgotten, and is vibrantly felt in the heroic tale of all the women who speak through Eliza Sunshine.” —Tanya TalagaMichelle Good is a Cree writer and a member of the Red Pheasant Cree Nation in Saskatchewan.
