A new collection of warm, wise and inspiring stories from the author of the bestselling One Native Life. Since its publication in 2008, readers and reviewers have embraced Richard Wagamese’s One Native Life. “In quiet tones and luminous language,” wrote the Winnipeg Free Press, “Wagamese shares his hurts and joys, inviting readers to find the ways in which they are joined to him and to consider how they might be joined to others.” In this new book, Richard Wagamese again invites readers to accompany him on his travels. This time his focus is on stories: how they shape us, how they empower us, how they change our lives. Ancient and contemporary, cultural and spiritual, funny and sad, the tales are grouped according to the four essential principles Ojibway traditional teachers sought to impart: humility, trust, introspection and wisdom.

This is a journey filled with ghosts, vampires, and longing. Are you brave enough to follow me, fellow traveler, into a book without stars? Trust me and take a deep breath. And then just let me haunt you with words.

The feeling was just as addicting as seeing the number on the scale drop, maybe even more so. I did not ever want to lose it. Based on experiences I made during five inpatient stays, this is the story of how a demon called anorexia latched onto me - and how I got rid of it through hard work and music.
