In Search of April Raintree

Two young sisters are taken from their home and family. Powerless to change their fortunes, they are separated, and each put into different foster homes. Yet over the years, the bond between them grows. As they each make their way in a society that is, at times, indifferent, hostile, and violent, one embraces her Métis identity, while the other tries to leave it behind. In the end, out of tragedy, comes an unexpected legacy of triumph and reclamation.

Editorial Reviews

The British Columbia Review - Brett Josef Grubisic

As crafted by Mosionier, April’s history shines a light on a place and its iniquities; and it exposes a citizenry, composed of the kindhearted and cruel, whose own journey to civility is far from complete.

Quill & Quire

Forty years on, In Search of April Raintree remains a groundbreaking novel.

Windspeaker

[The] author’s seminal novel remains relevant even after 40 years. Heartbreaking and uplifting...a story that resonated mightily.

CBC Books

[An] influential Indigenous novel, Beatrice Mosionier's story of resilience, sisterly love and identity paved the way for Indigenous storytellers.
