From the Ashes

Candid memoir of a Métis-Cree whose early turbulent childhood with a drug-addicted father and stints at foster-care, sent him down a path of drug addiction, crime and homelessness. A good reminder of how one is never free of the traumas of one's past and the traumas done to one's people. And how hard the struggle is to climb back up.

That image of the 3 small brothers desperately trying to feed themselves and locking arms to take on the world that seems all set against them, will stay with me.
