A bear and her cub, a strange silver ring, and an ancestor from long ago... Join Damon as he unravels these mysteries through a vision quest in this graphic novel for young adults. For Damon Quinn, things have started to look up. He's graduated high school, saved enough money to buy his first car, his old bully has kind of become a friend, and he and Journey are growing closer. Ready for adventure, Damon, his mom Marnie, and Journey take a road trip out to Kehewin Cree Nation to attend a Sweat Ceremony and a Powwow, as well as reconnect with family. When Marnie learns of Damon's plan to meet up with his estranged father, the news sends shockwaves through the group. But Damon isn't the only one keeping secrets. As Damon stumbles into a vision quest, he'll discover more than he bargained for about his own history and the history his mother would prefer he never found out.
Wanda John-Kehewin (she/her/hers) is a Cree writer who uses her work to understand and respond to the near destruction of First Nations cultures, languages, and traditions. When she first arrived in Vancouver on a Greyhound bus, she was a pregnant nineteen-year-old carrying little more than a bag of chips, a bottle of pop, thirty dollars, and hope. After many years travelling (well, mostly stumbling) along her healing journey, she now writes to stand in her truth and to share that truth openly. A published poet and fiction author, her first novel for young adults, Hopeless in Hope, won the Sheila A. Egoff Children's Literature Prize and was named to USBBY's Outstanding International Books list.
