Grass is not always greener

"A thought provoking inspiring account from a remarkable woman. It was difficult to put down and disturbing at times."

Debbie (5/5)

Eye opening

"Wow, just wow…. It’s amazing to read about how Cea grew up. I can’t even imagine how that was for her. This book kept me reading in shock…. My mouth hung open and I shook my head. ."

K8reads (5/5)

Couldn't put it down

"A wild story, my heart breaks for young Cea for all of the situations her family exposed her to. It was a book I couldn't put down."

Katie (5/5)

Hard to believe, difficult to read but impossible to put down.

"Incredible book! Harrowing and shocking but a detailed account of one women’s survival."

Reese (5/5)

Highly recommend!

"Such an interesting book. I had a hard time closing this book each day once I began reading."

Andie (5/5)

How people live!

"Very interesting read, not everyone is meant to be a parent. I would have liked a little more detail of some of the situations and Cea's teen years modelling. Pretty wild that they lived in tepee's year round living off the land."

Lisa M. (4/5)

Would recommend

"Love a Canadian written book and insight into something completely different"

Lucybmorrow (5/5)

Survival

"A story of survival on so many levels - wilderness, personal and through generations."
