Award-winning Anishinaabe author Tanya Talaga retells the history of this country as only she can - through an Indigenous lens, by tracing the life of her great-great grandmother and family as they lived through this government- and Church-sanctioned genocide.

The Other Significant Others : Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center.

Cohen, Rhaina.
2024

Rhaina Cohen invites us into the lives of people who have defied convention by choosing a friend as a life partner. Platonic partners reveal how freeing and challenging it can be to embrace a relationship model that society doesn't recognize. Based on years of original reporting and striking social science research, Cohen argues that we undermine romantic relationships by expecting too much of them, while we diminish friendships by expecting too little of them. Cohen challenges us to ask what we want from our relationships - not just what we're supposed to want - and transforms how we define a fulfilling life. Print run 75,000.
