The Mason House by T Marie Bertineau

The Mason House by T Marie Bertineau

After her father's untimely death, Theresa faced a rocky and unstable childhood. But there was one place she felt safe: her grandmother's house in Mason, a depressed former copper mining town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Gram's passing leaves Theresa once again at the mercy of the lasting, sometimes destructive grief of her Ojibwe mother and white stepfather. As the family travels back and forth across the country in search of a better life, one thing becomes clear: if they want to find peace, they will need to return to their roots. The Mason House is at once an elegy for lost loved ones and a tale of growing up amid hardship and hope, exploring how time and the support of a community can at last begin to heal even the deepest wounds.

"In this graceful and moving memoir, Bertineau offers a series of stories about love, tenacity, resilience, and hope from a rare corner of the world"—M. Bartley Seigel, author of This Is What They Say

"Touching and authentic." —Faith Sullivan, author of Good Night, Mr. Wodehouse

"Full of heartache, kindness and grace."—Alana Haley, Nicola's Books
