Caption:

Legacy is the first novel by Waubgeshig Rice, whose collection of stories Midnight Sweatlodge was the Gold Medal Winner for Adult Multicultural Fiction at the 2012 Independent Publisher Book Awards.
Set in the 1990s, Legacy deals with violence against a young Indigenous woman and its lingering after-shocks on an Anishnawbe family in Ontario. Its themes of injustice, privilege and those denied it, reconciliation and revenge, are as timely as today's headlines. (From Theytus Books)
