It was like I wasn¿t in my body anymore. It was bare and desolate and empty and cold, lifeless in my body. Where was I?

She details her resulting struggles with addiction, mental health, and domestic violence, which haunted her into adulthood.Equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful, Monicäs memoir is a testimony to the lasting impacts of residential schools and one woman¿s fight to reclaim what she lost.The Scarf and the Butterfly is a stunning new addition to Qinuisaarniq ("resiliency"), a collection of books created to educate readers about the history and impacts of residential schools. Each book in this collection has been carefully written and reviewed to include level-appropriate opportunities for students to learn about colonial acts and policies that have affected Inuit. These acts and policies created long-lasting impacts on Inuit individuals and communities, which are still being felt today.
