 >Tough Lies\,</em> the highly anticipated new book by Jesse Wente\, an Ani
 shinaabe writer\, broadcaster\, and one of Canada&rsquo\;s foremost thinke
 rs. Drawing on his own healing journey\, Wente considers what reconciliati
 on between Nations requires and examines the controversial issue of false

 em> offers a deeply personal look at healing and the present and future of
  reconciliation in Canada.</p>\n<p>A Different Drummer Books will be on-si
