Crow Mary

By: Kathleen Grissom

Kathleen Grissom (The Kitchen House) returns with a gripping saga of Crow Mary, an Indigenous teenager who married a white fur trader.

Inspired by the true story of a woman named Goes First, Crow Mary tells the story of an incredible young woman who finds herself torn between two worlds, and their colliding cultures. As she navigates through her daily life duties and her marriage, friends and enemies are formed, and a light is shone on the violence and uncertainty of the 19thcentury West, including the systematic demolition of Indigenous culture.
