Children like us : a Métis woman's memoir of family, identity and walking herself home / by Penner, Brittany,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A Métis girl is adopted by a Mennonite family in this breathtaking memoir about family lost and found -- for those who loved From the Ashes, Educated and Older Sister. Not Necessarily Related. "Such a lucky child, so many remind me. To be unwanted and then adopted, how lucky. To be raised by someone who doesn't have to love you but chooses to love you -- how special." By the time Brittany Penner is seven years old, she has loved and lost twenty-one foster siblings who have come into her family and left -- all of them Indigenous like her. "When will it be my turn?" she asks her mother time and time again. "When will I be taken away?" You won't be, she is told. You're adopted. You're here to stay. You're the lucky one. Brittany was relinquished into care on the day of her birth in 1989 and adopted by a white Mennonite family in a small prairie town. Her name and where she came from are hidden from her; all she is told is that she is part-Métis. Her childhood is shaped by church, family, service and silence. Her family is continuously shapeshifting as siblings enter and leave, one by one. She knows, to stay, she has to force herself into the mould created for her. She must be obedient. Quiet. Good. No matter what. Whenever she looks in the mirror, she searches her features, wondering if they've been passed down to her by her biological mother. She thinks, if she can ever find her mother, she'll find all the answers she's looking for. As Brittany moves into adolescence and then adulthood, she will uncover answers about her roots and her identity -- but they will be more tangled than she could have imagined. Children Like Us asks difficult questions about family, identity, belonging and cultural continuity. What happens when you find what you are looking for, but it can't offer you everything you need? How do you reckon with the truth of your own story when you've always been told you're one of the "lucky ones"? What does it mean to belong when you feel torn between cultures? And how does a person learn to hold the pain and the grief, as well as the triumphs, the joys and the beauty, allowing none to eclipse the other?"--

The guest children : a novel / by Tarr, P. G.(Patrick G.),1970-author.;
"Not all hauntings are confined to houses. With the mounting terror of the German Blitz on London in 1940, thousands of British "Guest Children" are evacuated abroad to escape the bombing. Michael and Frances Hawksby are among them, shipped off to stay with relatives in Canada. Years later, as WW2 finally comes to an end, their surviving family members realize that no one has heard from them again. Randall Sturgess wanted to do his part in the war but was forced to stay home and look after his troubled and unstable younger brother, Edward. Impoverished, shamed as a coward, and running out of work options as veterans come home, Randall takes a job investigating the disappearance of the Hawksby children. Reluctantly leaving Edward behind, Randall follows the children's trail to the wilds of northern Ontario, where he finds an isolated and ramshackle resort called Glass Point Lodge. There, he discovers the secretive aunt and uncle who took in the young Hawksbys, along with their odd collection of seemingly permanent guests - none of whom seem willing to tell him the truth about the missing children. Plagued with vivid nightmares about the war, troubled by dark visions and a persistent feeling that he's being watched, Randall searches the imposing woods and lake for any trace of Michael and Frances. Certain something terrible has happened to them, Randall delves ever deeper into the mysteries of the lodge, its inhabitants, and the long-buried memories of his childhood - not realizing that the darkest secrets he unearths may be his own."--

Uniquely human : a different way of seeing autism / by Prizant, Barry M.,author.; Fields-Meyer, Thomas,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Autism is usually portrayed as a checklist of deficits, including difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. This perspective leads to therapies focused on ridding individuals of "autistic" symptoms. Now Dr. Barry M. Prizant, an internationally renowned autism expert, offers a new and compelling paradigm: the most successful approaches to autism don't aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual's experience and what underlies the behavior.
