While the child&#8217;s internal monologue expresses his fear, confusion, and loss, the father&#8217;s monologue conveys his own sadness, fears, and hopes for the future of his child. The narrative gives voice to the things left unsaid between a parent and child experiencing this heart-rending separation. Upon his return to his community, when father and son are reunited, they must start the long process of reconnection.</p><p>Based on the author&#8217;s family history of residential school separation, this book provides a unique perspective on the difficult cycle of loss, reconnection, and regaining hope for the future.</p></dd></dl>
