Reconciliation spotlight from “52 Ways to Reconcile” by David A. Robertson is to read a book written by an Indigenous author about Indigenous characters to ensure accuracy, truth, and autonomy.
Book to read…. “Starlight” by Richard Wagamese
Reconcilation is about REPRESENTATION, authentic stories that characters whose scars cut deep even as their journey toward healing and forgiveness lifts us, “Starlight” is a magnificent last gift to readers from a writer who believed in the power of stories to save us.
From the beloved, bestselling author of Indian Horse and Medicine Walk, Richard Wagamese's final novel, “Starlight” is a rapturous and profoundly moving story of love, compassion, mercy, and the consolations to be found in the natural world.
