Description

Saul Indian Horse is a story of resilience and survival, set against the backdrop of a dark period in Canadian history. When his family retreats into the woods, Saul is forced to confront the harsh realities of his world. As he navigates the challenges of a horrific boarding school, he finds solace in hockey, a sport that becomes a source of both comfort and torment. As Saul's skills on the ice improve, so do the opportunities that come his way. He rises through the amateur circuit, eventually earning a place in a professional league. Yet, with each victory, Saul faces new challenges and indignities, highlighting the racism and hatred that he encounters. This powerful and moving novel is a heart-wrenching account of a difficult chapter in history, and a poignant coming-of-age story.
