Feast by Roy W Russell, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

One week to grieve. One week to make final preparations. One week to celebrate a life. Angie grew up in the busy city of Vancouver unaware of the rich culture of her people. After the divorce of her parents she now finds herself adapting to the quiet village of Gitsegukla in northern British Columbia. Every day she learns a little more about her heritage, the Gitksan language spoken by her elders, and the traditions practiced since time immemorial. On a cold November morning life is put on hold by the blaring of the fire hall sirens signifying the death of a community member. Angie just learned the heartbreaking news one of her best friends passed away the night before. For one week a small northern village in British Columbia give strength to a family in need. The people of Gitsegukla come together practicing ancient traditions passed down from generation to generation in this one of a kind story, written by a member of the Bisteh Clan. Join Angie as she witnesses the Gitksan way of saying goodbye. You are invited to the Feast. | Feast by Roy W Russell, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
