• Summary:"Canada's vital Aboriginal recovery movement is recognized worldwide. Despite its successes, however, rates of suicide, poverty, addiction and chronic disease remain shockingly high in many Aboriginal communities. Journalist Marie Wadden spent a year trying to find out why, and she got answers whenever she left the smooth asphalt highways that stretch from Labrador to British Columbia and into the Canadian North. In this passionate and practical call to action, she argues convincingly that we must make social healing an immediate national priority."--back cover.
