Description
Set during the late 1960s in the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia-famed for its coalmining disasters and for being the birthplace of Anne Murray-the story is about a young girl whose new best friend is a First Nations girl recently arrived from a nearby residential school that has shut down, who is being verbally abused and bullied by her new classmates. It's a tale of overcoming social and racial barriers, finding new friends, and the power of music.
