With courage, humour, and frank honesty, the stories describe what it was like to grow up as a girl who was starkly different from \"normal\" and how \"coming out\" became a lifelong process of self-acceptance and changing identities. Potvin?s tales also speak to the difficulties in participating in and maintaining healthy adult relationships when childhood foundations are rooted in violence and trauma, culminating with a triumphant account of fulfilling a long-time dream of buying land and building a home with her own hands. Ultimately, this memoir is a celebration of making art, telling stories, and of finding her birth father, a family of half siblings, and an Indigenous community whose presence she had always felt, but to which she never knew she belonged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743055978769,"sku":"NGR9781771338493","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1771338490.jpg?v=1751431270"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-lorrie-potvin.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
