A powerful autobiography from Yvonne Johnson--the great-great-granddaughter of Cree leader Chief Big Bear.
This is the unforgettable true story of Yvonne Johnson's early life and a revealing account of injustice toward Indigenous women. After being convicted of murder in 1991, Johnson collaborated with acclaimed writer Rudy Wiebe to journey into her spirit self, to share the conflict and abuse that characterized her life. In the bringing together of Wiebe's deep insight and Johnson's poetic eloquence, Stolen Life is a devastating depiction of enduring familial love and, from Wiebe's perspective, a courtroom drama that unravels the events that led to her conviction. But above all, it is the testimony of a Cree woman who decided to speak out to dispel shame and break the silence that binds.
