Book 7 (2014) The Orenda ***** by Joseph Boyden

Original, amazing writing, educational, shocking.  A stunning history of the Iroquois and the Jesuits in Canada.   This is the reality show version of all that grade school Canadian history. 

Boyden's first novel, Three Day Road, won the Amazon/Books in Canada First Novel Award and the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize

His second novel, Through Black Spruce won the 2008 Scotiabank Giller Prize.

His third book, The Orenda, won the 2014 edition of Canada Reads.
