Northern Ontario, 1872
A discovery of fossils in Northern Ontario excites a group of dinosaur hunters but at the same time, the excavation crews are driven mad by a bizarre and terrifying illness.
Over a hundred years later, Church and his family show signs of the same strange and deadly affliction. He sets out to unravel his family’s dark history, but must race to protect the secrets buried deep in bones and blood. Set in the fictional town of Sterling and Ghost Lake Reserve, Wrist tells the story of First Nations heritage and is written by Nathan Adler who’s a member of the Lac Des Mille Lacs First Nation.
First Nations
The heritage and history behind the First Nations in Canada is fascinating. The website acdesmillelacsfirstnation.ca is the one which the author belongs to and the site introduces you to the history and heritage of these peoples and gives you a very unique of a part of Canada’s heritage.
The site itself states that “Different is not wrong, just different.” and that is the message in this lovely, poignant tale about missing home and staying true to your roots.
