Description
Thunder Through My Veins is a heartbreakingly beautiful memoir about one man's journey towards self-discovery and acceptance. Born into a Métis family with diverse ancestry, Gregory Scofield's early life was marked by constant loss, poverty, violence and self-hatred.
It wasn't until he began to search for his roots and chronicle his life in evocative poetry that Gregory found himself released from the burdens of the past. This is a traumatic, tender and hopeful story of his fight to rediscover and accept himself in the face of a heritage with diametrically opposed backgrounds.
Through his journey, Gregory shares his experiences of growing up without a sense of belonging, and the power of art to heal and transform. His memoir is a powerful exploration of identity, family, and the search for self.
