What Birds Can Only Whisper

In Search of April Raintree
by Beatrice Culleton
ISBN 1-895411-46-7
"One cannot read this moving account of two Metis sisters without feeling their terrible anguish, bewilderment and anger as they try in their different ways to live in a society that frequently rejects and abuses them, as it has rejected and abused their parents and ancestors. The story is a tragic one, yet its final outcome is one of affirmation and bitterly won resolve." - Margaret Laurence
