In At Ends We Rest, Samantha Erron Gibbon offers five powerful short stories about Indigenous youth searching for home, safety, and belonging amid intergenerational impacts of residential school, colonization, displacement, and family fracture. An otipemisiwak (Métis) ekwa nehiyaw physician, mother, and educator, Gibbon draws from her own life as an intergenerational residential school survivor, as well as from her years working with urban Indigenous youth in Edmonton. Through fictional stories rooted in lived experience and community memory, she gives voice to young people navigating loss, food insecurity, kinship adoption, orphanhood, violence, leadership, cultural art, and the longing for rest. At Ends We Rest is a haunting and compassionate collection about survival, inheritance, and the unfinished work of healing. Gibbon knows what she wants the future to look like, but as these stories remind us, we have yet to catch a glimpse of the end.
