The Berry Pickers—Reader's Guide and Book Club Kit (Amanda Peters) challenge devastating novel about a Mi'kmaqThe Berry Pickers is a quiet, devastating novel about a Mi'kmaq child taken from a blueberry field in 1962 and the fifty years of grief, guilt, and misdirected living that follow. Two narrators tell the story over decades: Joe, the six year old boy who was the last person to see his sister before she vanished from a Maine blueberry field, and Norma, who grows up in a white household in Maine haunted by fragments of a life she doesn't remember living.
