Shelter
By Frances Greenslade
Very lovely writing in this book, though the story is sad. The novel is set in various places, including Williams Lake, the Chilcotin, and Bella Coola! How could I not read this book?
Two young girls grow up living back to the land on the Chilcotin. Dad dies in a logging accident, and mom struggles, then disappears, leaving her two daughters with family friends. After three years, if becomes obvious that she is never coming back. Finally, one of the daughters goes looking for her mother. In Bella Coola, she finds out what happened to their mother.
Rating: 4/5
Recommendation: Yes.
