Description
INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A CBC Best Book of 2025
Finalist, Foreword INDIES 2025 Book of the Year
Soft as Bones is a poetic memoir as intricately woven as a dreamcatcher, detailing the journey of overcoming the pain of generational trauma through the power of traditional healing.
In candid, incisive, and delicate prose, Chyana Marie Sage reveals the pain of growing up with her father, a crack dealer who went to prison for molesting her older sister. As Chyana revisits her family's history, she examines the legacy of generational abuse, which began with her father's father, who was forcibly removed from his family by the residential schools and Sixties Scoop programs.
Yet hers is also a story of hope. It was the traditions of her people that saved her life, healing one small piece in the mosaic that makes up the dark past of colonialism shared by Indigenous people throughout Turtle Island.
