Sugar Falls : a residential school story / story, David Alexander Robertson ; illustrations, Scott B. Henderson.
A school assignment to interview a residential school survivor leads Daniel to Betsy, his friend's grandmother, who tells him her story. Abandoned as a young child, Betsy was soon adopted into a loving family. A few short years later, at the age of 8, everything changed. Betsy was taken away to a residential school. There she was forced to endure abuse and indignity, but she remembers her fathers words -- words that gave her the resilience, strength, and determination to survive.
