About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
A young woman of mixed European and First Nations heritage, Selena is trying to find her way in the modern world. It isn't easy. Where does she belong? With whom? In the interwoven stories that make up River Child, author Eleanor Millard leads us through the maze of experiences that women of mixed ancestry face in finding their place in the world.
In a larger sense, being an "outsider" affects us all, whether we live in the small community of Dawson City, Yukon, where these stories take place, or in the large metropolitan areas of Toronto and Vancouver. With an eye for place, people and time, Millard recreates the story of Selena, Child of the River.
