*#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER *Winner, Kobo Emerging Writer Prize Nonfiction *Winner, Indigenous Voices Awards *Winner, High Plains Book Awards *Finalist, CBC Canada Reads *A Globe and Mail Book of the Year *An Indigo Book of the Year *A CBC Best Canadian Nonfiction Book of the Year In this extraordinary and inspiring debut memoir, Jesse Thistle, once a high school dropout and now a rising Indigenous scholar, chronicles his life on the streets and how he overcame trauma and addiction to discover the truth about who he is. If I can just make it to the next minute...then I might have a chance to live; I might have a chance to be something more than just a struggling crackhead. From the Ashes is a remarkable memoir about hope and resilience, and a revelatory look into the life of a Métis-Cree man who refused to give up. Abandoned by his parents as a toddler, Jesse Thistle briefly found himself in the foster-care system with his two brothers, cut off from all they had known. Eventually the children landed in the home of their paternal grandparents, whose tough-love attitudes quickly resulted in conflicts. Throughout it all, the ghost of Jesse’s drug-addicted father haunted the halls of the house and the memories of every family member. Struggling with all that had happened, Jesse succumbed to a self-destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, spending more than a decade on and off the streets, often homeless. Finally, he realized he would die unless he turned his life around. In this heartwarming and heart-wrenching memoir, Jesse Thistle writes honestly and fearlessly about his painful past, the abuse he endured, and how he uncovered the truth about his parents. Through sheer perseverance and education—and newfound love—he found his way back into the circle of his Indigenous culture and family. An eloquent exploration of the impact of prejudice and racism, From the Ashes is, in the end, about how love and support can help us find happiness despite the odds.

The only thing Dakota Quinn has known thus far is survival. After a tragic accident that left only she and her brother behind, it feels as if they've never stopped running. And for the first seventeen years of her life, they've managed to make it work. Until one small slip-up causes their cover to be blown, landing Dakota on a one-way trip to California.Now, on her own for the first time in her life, Dakota finds herself in a group home, amongst a trio of girls with stories of loss strikingly similar to her own. Finley Brown-an eccentric girl with an unthinkable past; Gia Dawson-an outspoken rebel who's landed herself on probation; and Ryland Moreno-the foster kid raised by the system, disabled after an accident that tore her from her previous home. Paired with a hardened exterior and a unfamiliar magnetism, Ryland quickly catches Dakota's attention-whose curiosity always seems to get the best of her.However, they can only run from their pasts for so long, and whether it shows up on the front doorstep or haunts them in nightmares, all four girls are forced to face the events that have brought them together in the first place. Despite their differences, they find themselves relying on each other in more ways than one. And for Dakota, there's something different about Ryland. After running for as long as she can remember, she's suddenly met with a pair of brown eyes that ground her, pulling her in like the tide.

The formation, organization, and accessibility of archives and libraries are critical for the production of historical narratives. They contain the materials with which historians and others reconstruct past events. Archives and libraries, however, not only help produce history, but also have a history of their own. From the early colonial projects to the formation of nation states in Latin America, archives and libraries had been at the center of power struggles and conflicting ideas over patrimony and document preservation that demand historical scrutiny. Much of their collections have been lost on account of accidents or sheer negligence, but there are also cases of recovery and reconstruction that have opened new windows to the past. The essays in this volume explore several fascinating cases of destruction and recovery of archives and libraries and illuminate the ways in which those episodes help shape the writing of historical narratives and the making of collective memories.
