The Blanket is a living work of art--a collection of hundreds of objects from those schools. It includes everything from photos, bricks, hockey skates, graduation certificates, dolls and piano keys to braids of hair. Behind every piece is a story. And behind every story is a residential school Survivor, including Carey's father. This book is a collection of truths about what happened at those schools, but it's also a beacon of hope and a step on the journey toward reconciliation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe epub edition of this title is fully accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orca Book Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45154260123799,"sku":"9781459836129","price":1630.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781459836129.webp?v=1767661809","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-witness-blanket-truth-art-and-reconciliation-9781459836129","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
