With stories that chronicle the abused, the homeless, the suicidal, those seeking a world away from the reserve, and those returning to the indigenous community to improve themselves, 13 Lives is a fact-based account of events affecting thirteen indigenous persons. In each of these narratives nature plays a pivotal role, and against that backdrop 13 Lives commemorates each character's struggles and celebrates their successes.

From the Author:

This novel is afact-based account of events affecting thirteen indigenous persons.

"Become the personyou want your neighbour to be." ChiefClifford's instruction in 1961 was my introduction to native culture with allof its tribulations, dreams and achievements.

These stories includeactual accounts of the abused, the homeless, the suicidal, those urgently seekinga world away from their First Nation, and those returning to the nativecommunity to perfect themselves. In all of these narratives, nature remains so verymuch an intricate aspect of their lives.
