The story opens with the fact that the brother of the narrator is missing at sea and then goes on to reflect on the family life prior to this event. I enjoyed this book though the narrator plunges into being a teenage runaway to Vancouver, living drunk and stupid for two years because her grandmother died. This doesn't ring true as her parents were perfectly nice and supportive all her life and this event shouldn't have pushed anyone into such an extreme reaction. The novel did a good job of describing a young person’s perspective of native life, BC wilderness, etc. The ending has a twist in that it suggests why and how the young man went missing but doesn't outright state that's what happened.
