Publisher's Synopsis
This is the story of a woman in search of herself, in every sense. When we first meet Ruby, a Métis woman in her thirties, she's a mess. She's angling to sleep with her therapist while also rekindling an old relationship she knows will only bring more heartache. But as we will soon learn, Ruby's story is far more complex than even she can imagine. Given up for adoption as an infant, Ruby was raised by a white couple who understands little of her Indigenous heritage. This is the great mystery that hovers over Ruby's life and her story-who her people are and how to identify herself. Over the course of the novel we meet those people: her birth parents and grandparents; her adoptive parents; the men and women Ruby has been romantically involved with. Taken together, these characters form a kaleidoscope of stories, giving Ruby's life dignity and meaning.
