A powerful blend of memoir and journalism: as Angela writes candidly about her own experiences--from growing up steeped in the stories of her ancestors, to living on the street, to becoming a journalist and fighting for Indigenous rights-she interweaves her personal stories with stories from her reporting into the lives of murdered and missing indigenous women, acknowledging throughout that "she could have been me." A message of hope: throughout her book, Angela proves that the strength and brilliance of Indigenous women is unbroken, and that together, they can build lives of joy and abundance. The first book by Sterritt, an award-winning and critically-acclaimed journalist: Sterritt has worked as a journalist for close to twenty years and has been with the CBC since 2003. She currently works with CBC Vancouver as a host and television, radio and digital reporter, and as a substitute host for CBC Frontburner. Contains original reporting on missing and murdered Indigenous women: Sterritt's reporting in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, on Northern BC's Highway of Tears, and in Winnipeg are explored in-depth in the book. Heartbreaking, unflinching memoir of life on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside: Sterritt writes honestly about her years on the DTES, navigating group homes and SROs to finally find her place in journalism and academic excellence at university.
