"Dorothee Komangapik has written a raw and honest memoir of her life in the Canadian Arctic. She pulls no punches in writing about her domineering and abusive father and the joys and sorrows of her marriage to an alcoholic Inuk man, juxtaposed with the kindness shown by his loving parents, her in-laws. Take off any rose-coloured glasses before beginning this insider's portrayal of community life in Nunavut." - Kenn Harper, historian and author of In Those Days: Collected Writings on Arctic History series (2014-2022), Give Me My Father's Body: The Story of Minik, the New York Eskimo (1986 & 2000) and Thou Shalt Do No Murder: Inuit, Justice and the Canadian Arctic (2017)Care
