In My Own Moccasins: A Memoir of Resilience | Helen Knott

Beautiful day for some outside reading in the backyard. It is almost sweater weather today and probably will be this evening. Starting the reread of the #OhCanada book. Will post a discussion post on August 31st.

Tamra I am really not ready for sweater weather. I am always in a state of denial until I just can‘t be anymore. 😫 I actually turned on the furnace in the camper this week one morning. 3d

Jess861 @Tamra I'm so ready for some cooler weather! It's been such a scorching hot summer so far here! I'm sure we have more insanely hot days ahead of us. Not sure if I'm ready to be turning on the furnace though, lol! (edited) 3d

In My Own Moccasins: A Memoir of Resilience | Helen Knott

pick

#OffMyShelf - memoir
#OhCanada

“Healing isn‘t a freeing experience when you‘re in the middle of it. It feels like land mines are exploding and ripping your flesh apart. Everywhere you step is dangerous.”

Powerful and raw. Knott writes about her struggles with addiction and abuse as an indigenous Canadian. Reminded me also of “Tattoos on the Heart” with its appeal to withhold judgment.

Trigger warnings for drug use, sexual assault and abuse.

wanderinglynn, Jess861

Jess861 Glad you enjoyed it! 3d

Ruthiella @Jess861 Definitely glad to read about her challenges and strength in surmounting them. 3d

Suet624 Read this a number of years ago and really liked it. 3d

Suet624 Jenny. 😭❤️ 3d

CarolynM Great review. I hope I‘ll get to this sometime, but probably not in time for the discussion ☹️ 3d

Ruthiella @CarolynM That‘s the beauty of the internet. You can read the discussion and chime in later. 3d

In My Own Moccasins: A Memoir of Resilience | Helen Knott

Helen Knott‘s father was sent to a residential school,so he had no role models as to how to parent.But he did learn that parents read to their children before bed. Although he was incredibly uncomfortable in this role as a bedtime reader, he persevered. #OhCanada

Ruthiella I loved this tidbit too. 👍 4d

Jess861 Such a good thing to do! 3d

Repost for @Jess861

Sorry for the late post on the vote for the next book! Two different types of books by two authors. Please let me know which book you would prefer to read for the September/October read of #OhCanada . Moon of the Crusted Snow is the first of two books (so far) and Three Day Road is the first in a trilogy.

Anyone welcome to join in this easy going book club where we explore different Canadian authors every two months.

Jess861 Thank you! 😊 1w

mcctrish I‘d love to read Three Day Road, I‘ve had it on my death tower for years (edited) 1w

Tamra My vote is for Three Day Road. I read the other, it was great! 1w

TheKidUpstairs Both are great books, but if you are choosing from these as a way of reading Indigenous authors, please be aware of the controversies surrounding Boyden's ancestry claims: Author Joseph Boyden and his shape-shifting Indigenous identity https://share.google/mBFXjSnGW5xh4dGJd 1w

Jess861 @TheKidUpstairs - Thank you for letting us know about the controversies. These books weren't picked because of the authors ancestry. Just looking to explore well written books by Canadian authors. 1w

Jess861 @mcctrish @Kitta @Tamra - thanks for the votes - noted :) 1w

Tamra @mcctrish “death tower” 😂 1w

PurpleyPumpkin As I haven‘t read it yet, I‘ll vote for Three Day Road. 🗳️ 1w

Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 1w

Ruthiella Both are available at my libraries 👍 I think I am more curious to start with Boyden, since I have long heard about him as an author but not read anything yet.

Three Day Road (Revised)

Jess861 @Ruthiella Thanks for the vote - it is noted 😊 1w

CarolynM I‘m a bit over committed at the moment. I probably won‘t get to the current book, or the next one. Sorry. Hopefully I‘ll be able to join you for November/ December. 1w

Blueberry I've read Moon of the Crusted Snow. So I will vote for Three Day Road. I'm always up for reading a canoe trip through the northern wilderness. 😄 1w

Jess861 @CarolynM No worries - such a busy time of year!! 1w

Jess861 @Blueberry Thanks - noted 😊 1w

lauraisntwilder I'm voting for Moon of the Crusted Snow, but they both sound good. 1w

Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 1w
