Memory Keeper

By Dawn Cheryl Hill

Memory Keeper is a collection of stories which offers anecdotes and stories, however comedic or horrific, from the author's life, living on the Six Nations Reservation. These stories helped her to circumnavigate constructively the residual pain and dysfunction that is the legacy of the Residential School System. As a Registered Social Worker and Community Health Worker, Dawn Cheryl Hill does not leave the reader impacted by the shock and trauma of her stories, instead she offers a workbook companion with the published collection as a healing resource for her readers.
