Tears in the grass : a novel / Lynda A. Archer.

Archer, Lynda A, (author.).

Summary:

At ninety years of age, Elinor, a Saskatchewan Cree artist, 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. 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.
