Come Walk With Me, A Memoir
Reader Letters
Some reader letters have come in about Come Walk With Me, A Memoir. I am happy to share them here.
Rosanna Deerchild, Author, this is a small northern town:
“Beatrice Mosionier truly invites you to Come Walk With Me on this, the journey of her extraordinary life. This memoir will take you by the hand and lead you through her confusion as a three-year-old taken away from her family to the strong mature woman who would write the must-read novel, In Search of April Raintree. Here, Beatrice shows us her true story, stripped bare and open, she is fearless.”
Wabanakwut Kinew, CBC TV, Winnipeg:
“Rarely do artists create self-portraits without a hint of ego, but Beatrice has written her memoir that way. Come Walk With Me is as straight up as it gets and that is a testament to her courage.”David Alexander Robertson, Author, The Life of Helen Betty Osborne, a Graphic Novel:
“Come Walk With Me, A Memoir is beautifully and directly written. Beatrice is a gifted and engaging storyteller whose words are so vivid, so unflinchingly real, that the images come, just as though they were pained on a page... Anybody who has read April Raintree should read Come Walk With Me. What’s fascinating and engaging is that so much of April’s story is informed by Beatrice’s own life. I believe now that this is what made April so great, the emotions in it are real, the passion, the pain, the strength, it all comes from the heart, from experience... Here is a woman who came from so many hardships and through her strength of character and spirit, has succeeded and found peace... This book should inspire others to endure, to tell their stories, to educate others.” Niigonwedom James Sinclair, Guest-Editor, Urban NDN’s NDN Ink 2:
“Come Walk With Me is a window into the life story of one of Indian Country’s most wondered-about authors. Joyous and heartfelt, it is a pathway of truth, embedded with tales of frank honesty and brutal realism few can do so well or with such detail. Whether it be the stories of beautiful resilience while growing up, the exciting early days of Native publishing in Manitoba, or the startling moments of confronting racism in mainstream Canada, this is a brave, exciting book that can act as a companion piece to April Raintree and as a remarkable experience of a tumultuous time in Canadian and Aboriginal history. Miigwech Bea.” Michael Wolch, McNally Robinson & CityTV:
“Reading Beatrice’s memoir is like sitting next to her on a couch listening to her retell the stories of her past. The tales flow with ease and she is never afraid to reveal the depth of experiences from which she has emerged on the road to becoming an important literary figure on the Canadian scene.”
