Book
Firekeeper : a novel / Katłįà.
"Nyla has an affinity to fire. A neglected teen in a small northern town--trying to escape a mother battling her own terrors--she is kicked out and struggles through life on the streets. Desperate for love, Nyla accidentally sets fire to her ex's building and is then incarcerated for arson. Through community-led diversion, Nyla finds herself on a reserve as their firekeeper. But when climate change--induced wildfires threaten her new home, she knows intimately how to fight back. The fourth book from acclaimed writer Katłıà brings a Northern Indigenous perspective to the destructive effects of ongoing colonialism. Displaying Katłıà's enthralling storytelling style, Firekeeper is a coming-of-age tale that addresses intergenerational trauma by reclaiming culture, belonging and identity. Join Nyla on her healing journey through the fire to sacred waters."-- Provided by publisher.
