Description
"Where the Blood Mixes" is meant to expose the shadows below the surface of the author's Aboriginal heritage, and to celebrate its survivors. Can a person overcome their past; can a people survive their history? Irreverently funny and brutally honest, "Where the Blood Mixes" is a story about loss and redemption. Caught in a shadowy pool of alcoholic pain and guilt, Floyd is a man who has lost everyone he holds most dear. Now after more than two decades, his daughter Christine returns home to confront her father. Set during the salmon run, "Where the Blood Mixes" takes us to the confluence of the muddy Fraser and the brilliant blue Thompson Rivers, to the bottom of that landscape, to the heart of a People.
