"Lou has enough confusion in front of her this summer. She'll be working in her family's ice-cream shack with...her former best friend, King, who is back in their Canadian prairie town after disappearing three years ago...But when she gets a letter from her biological father...Lou immediately knows that she cannot meet him...While King's friendship makes Lou feel safer...when her family's business comes under threat, she soon realizes that she can't ignore her father forever"-- - HARPERCOLL
In this complex and emotionally resonant novel about a Métis girl living on the Canadian prairies, debut author Jen Ferguson serves up a powerful story about rage, secrets, and all the spectrums that make up a personâand the sweetness that can still live alongside the bitterest truth. A William C. Morris Award Honor Book and a Stonewall Award Honor Book!
Lou has enough confusion in front of her this summer. Sheâll be working in her familyâs ice-cream shack with her newly ex-boyfriendâwhose kisses never made her feel desire, only discomfortâand her former best friend, King, who is back in their Canadian prairie town after disappearing three years ago without a word.
But when she gets a letter from her biological fatherâa man she hoped would stay behind bars for the rest of his lifeâLou immediately knows that she cannot meet him, no matter how much he insists.
While Kingâs friendship makes Lou feel safer and warmer than she would have thought possible, when her familyâs business comes under threat, she soon realizes that she canât ignore her father forever.
