Real ones : a novel / by Vermette, Katherena,1977-author.;
"From the nationally bestselling author of the Strangers saga comes a heartrending story of two Métis sisters who must face their past trauma when their mother is called out as a pretendian. Lyn and her sister, June, are NDNs -- real ones. Lyn is still suffering after a break-up, but has her pottery artwork and her bubbly kid, Willow, to keep her mind, heart, and hands busy. Happily married June, a Métis Studies professor, yearns to uproot from Vancouver and move. With her husband, Sigh, and their faithful pup, June decides to buy a house in the last place on earth she'd imagine she'd end up: back home in Winnipeg. Close to Lyn, her dad, little sister Yoyo, Grandma Genie -- close to family. But then into Lyn and June's busy lives a bomb drops: their estranged and very white mother, Renee, is called out as a "pretendian." Under the name (get this) Raven Bearclaw, Renee had recently begun to top the charts in the Canadian painting scene for having a wholly new take on the Woodlands tradition, winning awards and recognition for her fraudulent work. The news is quickly picked up by the media and sparks an enraged online backlash. As the sisters are pulled into the painful tangle of lies their mother has told and the hurt she has caused, searing memories from their unresolved childhood trauma, which still manages to spill into their well curated adult worlds, come rippling to the surface. With the same signature wit and heart on display in The Break, The Strangers, and The Circle, and in prose so powerful it could strike a match, real ones offers us a heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful story that runs parallel with the long-fought, hard-won battles of Métis people to regain ownership of their identity and the right to say who is and isn't Métis."--

Since then, he's landed a multimillion dollar deal with German giant FC Bayern Munich and helped Canada reach the men's World Cup for the first time in 36 years. Based on years of original reporting and extensive interviews with his friends, family members, teachers, coaches, teammates, and others from his inner circle, Alphonso Davies: A New Hope paints a complete portrait of the soccer star. The first biography about "Phonzie" covers every angle of his life and career--from the harsh realities of growing up in a refugee camp amidst the Liberian civil war, to the unique challenges of starting a new life in a foreign country, twice, to his trailblazing path as a Canadian megastar in the world's most popular sport. Bringing together intimate details and never-before-told stories, author Farhan Devji pulls back the curtain on a person and player who has captured the hearts of a nation and become a shining light for refugees everywhere"--
