Wise, winking, woeful and wild, the words of Addrena Sumter-Freitag lift off the page and sweep you with them into worlds hidden, forgotten, repressed and denied. She is a black child in a white prairie city, a young woman in the ungentle hands of racism and love, a sage tale-spinner who will challenge and confront you, caress and console you, make you hoot with laughter and clap your hands with joy. She reaches back into her people's history and forward into rebirth -- with her eyes always, always, on the prize of this pure moment of absolute alive.

War, peace & getting by for one Black family in Winnipeg.
