"Ray, an impoverished young Ontario girl of Ojibway and Caucasian heritage, is having difficulty dealing with the death of her father and accepting her cultural background. She does not get along with her peers, and she feels that her mother has no time for her. Life improves for Ray when her grandmother, an Elder and healer, helps Ray to accept herself and maintain her cultural heritage in a modern world."--Ministry of Education website.
