A Grandmother Begins the Story will leave you forever charmed and soulspun. What a vision.” Richard van Camp, award-winning author of Godless but Loyal to Heaven and The Moon of Letting Go

Five generations of Métis women argue, dance, struggle, laugh, love, and tell the stories that will sing their family, and perhaps the land itself, into healing in this brilliantly original debut novel.


Carter is a young mother, recently separated. She is curious, angry, and on a quest to find out what the heritage she only learned of in her teens truly means.

Allie is trying to make up for the lost years with her first born, and to protect Carter from the hurt she herself suffered from her own mother. Lucie wants the granddaughter she’s never met to help her join her ancestors in the Afterlife.

Geneviève is determined to conquer her demons before the fire inside burns her up, with the help of the sister she lost but has never been without. And Mamé, in the Afterlife, knows that all their stories began with her; she must find a way to loose herself from the last threads that keep her tethered to the living, just as they must find their own paths forward.

This extraordinary novel, told by a chorus of vividly realized, funny, wise, confused, struggling characters—including descendants of the bison that once freely roamed the land—heralds the arrival of a stunning new voice in literary fiction.



Story Locale: Calgary, the British Columbia Coast, the Afterlife

cologne Great for every day use.

Great smooth scent. Strength is not over powerful an lasts for about 6 hrs. Great value for the money and it’s not irritating to the skin.

High Quality Fragrance for Men
Scent: Sea Salt + Driftwood, Scent: Sea Salt + Driftwood
I bought this for my partner as a gift, which admittedly is a gamble, but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The scent is masculine and truly has notes of sandalwood and has an ocean vibe as it’s described. It’s clean and not too powerful, but one spray is definitely enough to last through the day/night which means it’ll also last a long time. Bonus points that it’s travel-sized!
