Synopsis

When forgiveness feels impossible, who can she turn to?

Fourteen-year-old Courtney Shaw has every reason to be angry. Months after her father’s death, she has barely spoken a word. Courtney blames herself for his death—and she cannot forgive the man who pulled the trigger.

Living in the Red River Settlement in 1861, Courtney finds little comfort among the prejudice and bitterness that divide English, French, Métis, and First Nations families. She would rather spend time with Métis and First Nations children or caring for animals than listen to the bigoted grudges of the mainly English and Scottish adults around her. When Louis, a Métis boy, chooses Courtney for his spelling-bee team despite her self-imposed silence, she wonders whether she can find a way out of the darkness she has built around herself in her grief.

Then her little brother Weston gets the dog he has always wanted—and trouble seems to follow. When a runaway dog, a dangerous fire, and an angry vigilante mob bring Courtney face-to-face with the men she despises, she must choose. Will she cling to her anger and guilt or risk opening her heart to forgiveness?

Set in what is today Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, this historical novella explores friendship, prejudice, courage, grief, and the transforming power of forgiveness.

Sometimes the hardest person to forgive isn’t someone else, and sometimes the grace we need most is the grace God already offers us.
