<i>Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction — Shortlisted</i><br/>
<br/>
<b>For Elinor Greystone, the only way forward is back into the past.</b><br/>
<br/>
At ninety years of age, Elinor, a Saskatchewan Cree artist, inveterate roll-your-own smoker, and talker to rivers and stuffed bison, sets out to find something that was stolen almost a lifetime ago. With what little time she has left, she is determined to find the child taken from her after she, only a child herself, was raped at a residential school.<br/>
<br/>
It is 1968, and a harsh winter and harsher attitudes await Elinor, her daughter, and her granddaughter as they set out on an odyssey to right past wrongs, enduring a present that tests their spirit and chips away at their aboriginal heritage. Confronting a history of trauma, racism, love, and cultural survival, <i>Tears in the Grass</i> is the story of an unflagging woman searching for the courage to open her heart to a world that tried to tear it out.
