Description
by Bevann Fox (Author)
WINNER OF THE 2021 INDIGENOUS VOICES AWARD
How can we heal in the face of trauma? How can we transform intergenerational pain into a passion for community and healing? Presenting herself as "Myrtle," residential school survivor and Indigenous television personality Bevann Fox explores essential questions by recounting her life through fiction. She shares memories of an early childhood filled with love with her grandparents--until she is sent to residential school at the age of seven. Her horrific experiences of abuse there left her without a voice, timid and nervous, never sure, never trusting, affecting her romantic relationships and family bonds for years to come. This is the story of Myrtle battling to recover her voice. Genocidal Love is a powerful confirmation of the long-lasting consequences of residential school violence --and a moving story of finding a path towards healing.Author Biography
