American Publication Day! Happy Reading American friends! @catapult @transatlantic_agency #indigenousliterature #mikmaq #bookstagram

Why should you know your birth story?
Amanda Peters’ debut novel, The Berry Pickers, was a massive hit. Now, Peters is back with The Birthing Tree, a moving novel about family secrets, midwifery and reclaiming traditional Indigenous birth practices. The novel follows Aliet, a Mi’kmaq woman who must return to her family home in rural Nova Scotia after her grandmother dies.
Peters joined #Bookends with Mattea Roach to talk about her interest in midwifery, the nuances of being white-passing and highlighting the beauty of Nova Scotia.
You can listen to the full episode now on CBC Listen, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts! #podcasts #books

Join us for a warm evening with the wonderful novelist Amanda Peters, whose new book ‘The Birthing Tree’ is already a national bestseller. Peters will be in conversation with author Carleigh Baker.
In 1955, Aliet’s mother dies in childbirth beneath the birthing tree, a large old oak where Indigenous women have been giving birth for longer than anyone can remember. Aliet’s grandmother, the local midwife, has assisted in the successful births of babies there for decades. Yet on that fateful day tragedy strikes, and it’s her own daughter, Maggie, who dies under her care.
After her mother’s death, Aliet is raised by her grandmother and becomes an apprentice to her knowledge of midwifery and Indigenous medicine. At the base of the birthing tree, Aliet becomes the keeper of sacred knowledge, educated so that she may, one day, carry on these traditional practices. Yet, when Aliet grows older, she unexpectedly turns away from her grandmother, her community and all that she’s learned.
Years later, after her grandmother dies, Aliet returns home to a crumbling house and the memories she thought she’d outrun: the love and loss that shaped her young life; the teachings of her grandmother; and the mystery of her own bloodline. She also realizes that to truly start her life over again, she must finally come to terms with a long-held family secret and the unresolved heartbreak and grief of her past.
This event is free, but please RSVP through the link in our bio as capacity is limited and spaces will fill quickly! Books will be available for sale and signing.
