The harrowing story of one Indigenous child's experience in Canada's residential schools Named the fourth most important "Book of the Year" by the National Post and voted "One Book/One Province" in Saskatchewan, The Education of Augie Merasty launched on the front page of The Globe and Mail to become a national bestseller. Publishers Weekly called the book "historically significant," and The Toronto Star recommended it as a must read for "any Canadian interested in truth and reconciliation."

It also features a new postscript by David Carpenter, describing how the publication of his memoir changed Augie Merasty's life.
