<p><strong>A great read and teaching tool for National Indigenous History Month!</strong></p><p>Inspired by true events, this story of strength, family, and culture shares the awe-inspiring resilience of Elder Betty Ross.</p><p>Abandoned as a young child, Betsy is adopted into a loving family. A few short years later, at the age of 8, everything changes. Betsy is taken away to a residential school. There she is forced to endure abuse and indignity, but Betsy recalls the words her father spoke to her at Sugar Falls-words that give her the resilience, strength, and determination to survive.</p><p><em>Sugar Falls</em> is based on the true story of Betty Ross, Elder from Cross Lake First Nation. We wish to acknowledge, with the utmost gratitude, Betty's generosity in sharing her story. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of <em>Sugar Falls</em> goes to support the bursary program for The Helen Betty Osborne Memorial Foundation.</p><p>This 10th-anniversary edition brings David A. Robertson's national bestseller to life in full colour, with a foreword by The Hon. Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and a touching afterword from Elder Betty Ross herself.</p>
