Description:
<p><b>Winner - PMC&#160; Indigenous Literature Award 2023</b></p><p><i>Three kohkums, a man named Crow, two best friends, and a drug dealer . . . twelve-year-old Hunter may be getting out of Red Rock sooner than he hoped.</i></p><p>For Hunter Frank, the summer of &#8217;79 begins with his mother returning home only to collect the last two months&#8217; welfare cheques, leaving her three &#8220;fucking half-breeds&#8221; to fend for themselves. When his older sister escapes their northern BC town and his brother goes to fight forest fires, Hunter is on his own, with occasional care coming from a trio of elders&#8212;his kohkums&#8212;and companionship from his two best friends.</p><p>It&#8217;s been a good summer for the young entrepreneur, but the cash in the purple Crown Royal bag hidden in his mattress still isn&#8217;t enough to fund his escape from his monstrous mother and the town of Red Rock. As the Labour Day weekend arrives, so does a new friend with old wisdom and a business opportunity that might be just a boy at the crossroads needs. <i>My Indian Summer</i> is the story of a journey to understanding that some villains are also victims, and that while reconciliation may not be possible, survival is.</p><p><strong>Fall 2022 Young Adult Selection - Top Grade: Canlit for the Classroom</strong></p>
