Summer Collection: Hey, June

Upon waking up alone and disoriented on a hill, 17-year-old June finds herself unable to recall the events that led her there. As she attempts to navigate her new reality, familiar faces from her past reappear, bringing with them memories that had slipped from her grasp. It soon becomes evident that something unsettling has occurred, prompting June to confront unresolved emotions before it's too late. Faced with a momentous decision–whether to stay or to depart– June must reconcile with her past.

In Cree’s debut novel, themes of loss, sorrow, love, and the complex emotions in between are intricately intertwined with Métis Cree storytelling and wisdom to create a narrative that celebrates the beauty of existence. Through the lens of Indigenous knowledge and experience, Cree offers a fresh perspective on the concept of death and the mysteries beyond, all while introducing readers to a cast of characters who will feel like cherished companions.

With this Indigenous narrative crafted by Indigenous hands, Cree invites readers on a journey that explores the complexities of life and death, blending traditional teachings with a modern storytelling approach. Through vivid descriptions and poignant moments, readers are immersed in a world where past, present, and future converge, inviting reflection on the cyclical nature of existence and the importance of honoring one's roots.

As June grapples with her past and contemplates her future, readers are invited to join her on a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of life's uncertainties, love's enduring power, and the resilience of the human spirit. Through Cree's lyrical prose and heartfelt storytelling, readers are guided on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, ultimately coming to understand that in the face of loss, there is also renewal and growth.
