"Talaga has written Canada's J'Accuse, an open letter to the rest of us about the many ways we contribute -- through act or inaction -- to suicides and damaged existences in Canada''s Indigenous communities. Tanya Talaga''s account of teen lives and deaths in and near Thunder Bay is detailed, balanced and heart-rending. Talaga describes gaps in the system large enough for beloved children and adults to fall through, endemic indifference, casual racism and a persistent lack of resources. It is impossible to read this book and come away unchanged." -- RBC Taylor Prize Jury Citation
