In Search of April Raintree tells the poignant tale of two Métis sisters, April and Cheryl, who are torn from their family by the foster care system. Separated into different homes, they carry memories—some haunting, others comforting—as they struggle to maintain their bond across distance and cultural barriers.

April seeks to reconnect with her Indigenous roots and heritage, while Cheryl attempts to hide her Métis identity in search of acceptance. Their diverging journeys explore themes of memory, resilience, and the search for belonging in a society that often marginalizes Indigenous voices.

This special edition includes ten critical essays that examine the novel’s legacy in Canadian literature, its role in fostering Indigenous representation, and its enduring relevance in discussions of family, culture, and identity.
