"Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth" is the emotional story of
a woman's struggle to acknowledge her birth family. Grace, a Native
girl adopted by a White family, is asked by her birth sister to
return to the Reserve for their mother's funeral. Afraid of opening
old wounds, Grace must find a place where the culture of her past
can feed the truth of her present.
Set along the Pacific Northwest Coast in the 1950s, Ravensong tells
the story of an urban Native community devastated by an influenza
epidemic. Stacey, a 17-year-old Native girl, struggles with the
clash between white society's values and her family's traditional
ways, knowing that her future lies somewhere in between. Celia, her
sister, has visions from the past, while Raven warns of an
impending catastrophe before there is any reconciliation between
the two cultures. In this passionate story about a young woman's
quest for answers, author Lee Maracle speaks unflinchingly of the
gulf between two cultures: a gulf that Raven says must be bridged.
Ravensong is a moving drama that includes elements of prophecy,
mythology, cultural critique, and even humour. New and updated,
this edition features a preface by Lee Maracle.

Lee Maracle’s Bobbi Lee Indian Rebel tells the narrative of an
Indigenous woman raised in North America who finds her strength
despite the forces that challenge and oppress her. Grippingly
honest, Lee’s autobiographical exploration of post-colonial
tensions in Toronto circa 1960-1980 sheds light on the existing
racist and sexist sentiments affecting Indigenous women. Reflective
of the struggles Indigenous communities face today, this book
continues to hold a place within contemporary Indigenous and
women’s studies classrooms. New and updated, this edition
features a preface by Lee Maracle.
