Part history, part thriller, this novel plunges readers deep into the northern woods on a manhunt that can only end one of two ways: freedom or death.

Jonas is almost 16. Just two months, sixty days, one thousand four hundred hours, and he'll be free again. Till then, he has to keep being what they want: a simple, obedient, productive, and disciplined number. Make them think they've won, that they've killed the Indian inside the child who was cruelly dragged to this godforsaken place six years ago. Part history, part thriller, Nathalie Bernard's novel chronicles Quebec’s Indian residential schools, in service as late as the 1990s, plunging readers deep into the northern woods on a manhunt that can only end one of two ways: freedom or death.
