I am looking at a school picture, grade five, I am smiling easily ? I look poised, settled, like I belong. I won an award that year for most improved student. I learned to follow really well. - from "Memoirs of a Really Good Brown Girl"

"No other book so exonerates us, elevates us and at the same time indicts Canada in language so eloquent it almost hurts to hear it." - Lee Maracle, from the Introduction
