Daniels, Carol
Description
"Taken from the arms of her mother as soon as she was born, Sandy was only one of over twenty thousand Aboriginal children scooped up by provincial governments between the 1960s and the 1980s. ... Sandy does not emerge unscathed, but she emerges strong -- finding her way by embracing the First Nations culture that the Sixties Scoop has tried to deny."
