Summary:


National Bestseller


An intimate and personal debut collection of short fiction from the bestselling author of The Berry Pickers.


The stories in Waiting for the Long Night Moon explore the Indigenous experience from an astonishingly wide spectrum in time and placefrom contact with the first European settlers, to the forced removal of Indigenous children, to the present-day fight for the right to clean water. Amanda Peters portrays the dignity of traditional Indigenous life, the humiliations of systemic racism, and the resilient power to endure by melding traditional storytelling with her signature style of evocative, spare prose.


A young man returns from residential school only to realize he can no longer communicate with his own parents. A young woman finds purpose and healing on the front lines as a water protector. An old man remembers his life as he patiently waits for death. And a young girl nervously dances in her first Mawiomi. The collection also includes the Indigenous Voices Awardnominated story Pejipug (Winter Arrives)'' as well the Indigenous Voices Award-winning title story.


At times sad, sometimes disturbing, but always redemptive, the stories in Waiting for the Long Night Moon will remind you that where there is grief there is also joy, where there is trauma there is resilience and, most importantly, there is power.
