I like to take away that if anybody reads this book, that it opens up conversations For the awareness, the importance of the awareness of cultural awareness.

We need to have more cultural awareness that fosters respect and empathy.

I don't want to give away the ending of the book.

Talk a little bit about them and how they've helped you as an author.

So let's discuss a little bit the role of historical fiction in bringing to light the stories that we are not always aware of or made aware of.

I guess I should tell you exactly how I came about writing it and with whom.

Back in 2008, when I did publish Call of a Distant Shore, it was just soon after that I read the book, We Were Not the Savages, which is by Dr. Daniel Paul, who is a Mi'kmaq elder.

He's now since passed away three years ago.

I contacted him then.

I only had brief communication with him.

I had no intention of writing this book until after I retired, which was 2018.

Corinne, would you like to read something from the book for us?
