of
Children Like Us: A Métis Woman's Memoir of Family, Identity and Walking Herself Home:
"3.5 stars.
I wanted a little more examination of whether the author thinks she was better raised in a foster home with white parents or a foster home with non white parents. She definitely has opinions about it, but she doesn't go deep enough. For ins" Read more of this review » |

"For a book about women’s bodily autonomy with a MAJOR PLOT POINT REGARDING PREGNANCY, the word “abortion” does not occur once in this book. It is 2025. Grow up. There’s not putting a sentence that’s like “[alice is speaking with the author’s voice] a"

How far would you go to correct the past? The conversational structure of this short story kept my interest levels high. It takes effort to include necessary details about character and plot development while still making sure both characters are spea ...more |

Early spring is no time to leave the house unprepared for any sort of weather. “The Confession Chocolate” was a cozy tale about two friends who may or may not be falling in love with each other. The storyline was straightforward, so I don’t want to sh ...more |

“You’re not destined or chosen, I wish I could tell you that you were if that would make it easier, but it’s not true. You’re in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that’s enough.”

“If you choose to try to make a life with another person, you will live by that choice. You'd find yourself having to choose again and again to remain rather than run. It helps if you enter into a committed relationship prepared to work, ready to be humbled and willing to accept and even enjoy living in that in-between space, bouncing between the poles of beautiful and horrible, sometimes in the span of a single conversation, sometimes over the course of years. And inside of that choice and those years you'll almost certainly come to see that there is no such thing as a 50-50 balance, instead it will be like beads on an abacus, sliding back and forth, the maths rarely tidy, the equation never quite solved....”
