 A four-year-old Mi&rsquo\;kmaq girl goes missing from the blueberry fields
  of Maine\, sparking a mystery that will haunt the survivors\, unravel a f
 amily\, and remain unsolved for nearly fifty years</em></p>\n<p>July 1962.
  A Mi&rsquo\;kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueber
 ries for the summer. Weeks later\, four-year-old Ruthie\, the family&rsquo
 \;s youngest child\, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brothe
 r\, Joe\, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe wil
 l remain distraught by his sister&rsquo\;s disappearance for years to come
 .&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In Maine\, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only 
 child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant\, her mothe
 r frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dream
 s and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows 
 older\, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren&
 rsquo\;t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition\, she will spend 
 decades trying to uncover this family secret.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>"A ha
 rrowing tale of Indigenous family separation . . . [Peters]&nbsp\;excels i
 n writing characters for whom we can&rsquo\;t help rooting . . .&nbsp\;Wit
 h&nbsp\;The Berry Pickers\, Peters takes on the monumental task of giving 
 witness to people who suffered through racist attempts of erasure like her
  Mi&rsquo\;kmaw ancestors." &mdash\;The New York Times Book Review</strong
