About this book

When 17-year-old June wakes up alone and confused on a hill after-well, she can't really remember-she quickly finds herself unable to leave. While exploring the boundaries of her new reality, people from her life arrive, reintroducing June to memories she's forgotten. When it becomes clear that something bad has happened, June must come to terms with everything left unsaid before time runs out while making a monumental decision: stay or go.


In Cree's debut novel, a story of loss, grief, love, and everything in between is woven together with threads of Métis Cree storytelling and teachings to craft a narrative celebrating life. With this Indigenous story from Indigenous hands, Cree aims to introduce a new look into death and the beyond through characters you can't help but count as new friends.
