Fire Song - Jones, Adam Garnet

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Shane is still reeling from the suicide of his kid sister, Destiny. How could he have missed the fact that she was so sad? The person he most wants to turn to for comfort is his friend, David, but it's difficult when they have to keep their relationship hidden from everyone on the rez. With his grieving mother unable to cope with the tragedy, Shane realizes that his dream of going away to university is threatened. His yearning for a better life is further thwarted when David refuses to leave for the city. A powerful story about love, grief, and moving on. Fire Song deftly navigates the struggles of two Indigenous, gay teenagers trying to find their place in the world.
