Growing up at Jane and Finch (a Toronto suburb full of immigrants trying to build new lives in North America) sisters Diana and Alisha blossom. Diana is the light of her family's life, but when she doesn't come home one night and her body is discovered in the woods, the family begins to unravel . . .
Partially inspired by the real-life experiences of a former resident of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children, The Lost Sister bravely explores expectations, trauma, and the hard work of healing against a complex interplay of gender, race, and class dynamics.
"A story of revolution and resistance, of integrity and self-insistence, through and across time, about girls and women who survive and thrive that will offer hope and strength to readers." -- The Temz Review
