Surviving the City Vol. 2: From the Roots Up - Spillett, Tasha

As New; Dez's grandmother has passed away. Grieving, and with nowhere else to go, she's living in a group home. On top of everything else, Dez is navigating a new relationship and coming into her identity as a Two-Spirit person. Miikwan is crushing on new kid Riel, but doesn't really understand what Dez is going through. Can Miikwan learn how to be a better ally to her best friend? Elder Geraldine is doing her best to be supportive of the teens, but she doesn't know how to respond when the gendered protocols she's grown up with are thrown into question. Will Dez be comfortable expressing her full identity? And will their community relearn the teachings and overcome prejudice to celebrate Dez for who she is?
