She woke in a new home, with a new family and a new nameher former life fading to a ghost of a memory. The only place she ever felt like she fit in was with her grandmotherher Bubbewho listened to her and made her chicken soup and wrapped her in her loving arms. Until one daythe girl discovered the truth. And her beloved Bubbe helped her on her journey to claim her identity, her voiceand her name. Together, Nakuset and Judith Henderson tell the powerful story of the Indigenous experience for a child during the Sixities Scoop.
