Résumé
In 1988, a 13-year-old Ojibwa boy named Lester Desjarlais committed suicide. Journalist Ruth Teichroeb covered the inquest into his death, which was scheduled for one day, but which lasted three months. She relates what happened to Lester as he left… the Sandy Bay First Nations reserve and found himself in a maze of foster homes, mental hospitals, and treatment centres. Sexual content and descriptions of violence. 1997.
