Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Un escrito maravilloso, convincente, desafiante y lleva a la reflexión.' N. Jennings'¡Magnífico! . . . muy bien escrito, disfruté cada minuto. Emana una luz crítica y compasiva sobre el sistema del Indian residential schools.' T. MooresEn agosto de 1947, Mary Brock abordó un tren en Toronto para dirigirse a la zona silvestre del noroeste de Ontario donde trabajaría como profesora en un Indian residential school. ¡Sufamilia estaba aterrada!Al final de su primer día de clase, María también quedó aterrada, ya que esto no era la aventura emocionante que se había imaginado. Sin embargo, no se dio por vencida y animada por sus ideales y su pragmatismo, siguió adelante.Culminó el año académico. Cuando subió al tren para volver a casa, supo que había fracasado en todos los sentidos. Los ideales con los que había venido se habían hecho añicos en las paredes de su aula, y un gran pedazo de su corazón yacía enterrado detrás de una pequeña cabaña en el bosque.Sesenta años después, dos regalos inesperados, la obligaron a mirar el pasado por segunda vez y a mirar el futuro con más esperanza. Después de todo, tal vez sus ideales no eran tan ingenuos.
