Description
Buffalo Dreamer by Violet Duncan is a powerful novel about reclaiming the past and its impact on the present. Based on the author's family history, it tells the story of Summer and her family's summer traditions in Alberta, Canada. This year marks a turning point for Summer as she begins to experience vivid dreams that seem all too real. Unmarked children's graves have been discovered at the school where her grandfather attended, sparking a renewed conversation about the painful past and its ongoing effects. As Summer navigates her own heritage and the weight of her family's history, she finds herself searching for answers about the source of her unsettling dreams. A National Book Award finalist, Buffalo Dreamer is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, community, and the importance of acknowledging the past in order to build a better future.
