From the Ashes

honbo shared a tip "I wasn’t sure about this book at first because autobiographies aren’t typically my favoured genre. However, I liked that the author told his story in a narrative format. I did find certain parts repetitive and not completely necessary to the wholeness of the story. At the end of the book I was glad I took the time to give this book a shot and was happy to learn the author is still doing well."

chelsea_allen shared a tip "A real glimpse into the shadows of the effects of colonialism, addiction and homelessness. A work of hardship, love and triumph. This book will change the way you view all of the above and more."

littlelibrary shared a tip "The minute I started this book I knew it would hook me in. I cried within the first 5 minutes because I could already feel the rawness and pain the author felt. He overcame so much in life and I loved reading his story. I have about 40 mins left of the book and can’t wait for the ending."

amanda_mogk shared a tip "This book is so incredibly raw and truthful. Be prepared to finish it in on day, maybe even one sitting! Jesse Thistle has created a masterpiece that allows readers to relate to the effects of drug and alcohol addiction, and creates a vision for those who don’t understand addiction as well. His is a story that needed to be told. For Canadian readers, it shocks you to your core learning what he was dealing with in regions we are all familiar. Truly inspiring."

destiny_osemwenkha shared a tip "I liked it because it was very raw and and exciting. The book made me go through a roller coaster of emotions, mainly sad, but also pity, and happiness. Definitely a good book to read to see a different perspective than what meets the eye, and what we assume in people."
