“Tethered Spirits is a deeply moving historical novel set in 18th-century Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia), tracing the story of Bear Cub—a young German settler who is taken in by a Mi’kmaw family and gradually comes to see their land, language, and ways as his own. As someone who values stories of reconciliation and belonging, I found Bear Cub’s inner struggle between two identities—colonial and Indigenous—both heartbreaking and profoundly resonant. The novel doesn’t shy away from the brutal realities of displacement, violence, and cultural loss, but it also celebrates kinship, resilience, and the enduring wisdom of the land and its first peoples. Tethered Spirits is not just a historical account—it’s a spiritual journey that lingers long after the final page.”
