One family’s deepest pain. Another family’s darkest secret.
On a hot day in 1960s Maine, six-year-old Joe watches his little sister
Ruthie, sitting on her favourite rock at the edge of the blueberry
fields, while their family, Mi’kmaq people from Nova Scotia, pick
fruit. That afternoon, Ruthie vanishes without a trace. As the last
person to see her, Joe will be forever haunted by grief, guilt, and the
agony of imagining how his life could have been.
In an affluent suburb nearby, Norma is growing up as the only child of
unhappy parents. She is smart, precocious, and bursting with questions
she isn’t allowed to ask – questions about her missing baby photos;
questions about her dark skin; questions about the strange, vivid
dreams of campfires and warm embraces that return night after night.
Norma senses there are things her parents aren’t telling her, but it
will take decades to unravel the secrets they have kept buried since
she was a little girl.
The Berry Pickers is an exquisitely moving story of unrelenting hope,
unwavering love, and the power of family – even in the face of grief
and betrayal.
