- Bad Cree : a novel by Johns, Jessica,author.;
"A haunting debut novel where dreams, family and spirits collide. Mackenzie, a Cree millennial, wakes up in her small, one-bedroom Vancouver apartment clutching a pine bough she had been holding in her dream just moments earlier. When she blinks, it disappears. But she can still smell the sharp pine scent in the air, the nearest pine tree a thousand kilometres away in the deep prairies of Treaty 8. Mackenzie continues to accidentally bring back items from her dreams. Dreams that are eerily similar to real memories of her older sister and Kokum before their untimely deaths. As Mackenzie's life spirals into the living nightmare of crows following her around and her dead sister texting her from the other side, it becomes clear that the dreams have terrifying, real-life consequences. Desperate for help, Mackenzie returns to her mother, sister, cousin, and aunties in her small hometown in Alberta. And together, they work to uncover what is haunting Mackenzie before something irrevocable happens to anyone else around her. Haunting, fierce, an ode to female relations and the strength found in kinship, Bad Cree is a gripping, arresting debut by an unforgettable voice."--- Subjects: Paranormal fiction.; Novels.; Cree women; Dreams; Families; Spirits; Cree;

- The six : the lives of the Mitford sisters / by Thompson, Laura,1964-author.; revision of:Thompson, Laura,1964-Take six sisters.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The eldest was a razor-sharp novelist of upper-class manners; the second was loved by John Betjeman; the third was a fascist who married Oswald Mosley; the fourth idolized Hitler and shot herself in the head when Britain declared war on Germany; the fifth was a member of the American Communist Party; the sixth became Duchess of Devonshire. They were the Mitford sisters: Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah. Born into country-house privilege in the early years of the 20th century, they became prominent as "bright young things" in the high society of interwar London. Then, as the shadows crept over 1930s Europe, the stark--and very public--differences in their outlooks came to symbolize the political polarities of a dangerous decade. The intertwined stories of their stylish and scandalous lives--recounted in masterly fashion by Laura Thompson--hold up a revelatory mirror to upper-class English life before and after WWII."--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Biographies.; Mitford family.; Mitford, Jessica, 1917-1996.; Mitford, Nancy, 1904-1973.; Mitford, Pamela, 1907-1994.; Mitford, Unity, 1914-1948.; Mosley, Diana, 1910-2003.; Devonshire, Deborah Vivien Freeman-Mitford Cavendish, Duchess of, 1920-2014.; Authors, English; Sisters; Women authors, English;
