My Soul Is Still Searching for Home – CZ

Jesse Thistle _ _  abandoned by both parents as a toddler, briefly finds himself in foster care with his two brothers, 
cut off from everything he has ever known. All three children then go to live with their paternal grandparents, whose loving but strict upbringing 
soon sparks the first conflicts. Meanwhile, the spectre of Jesse's drug-addicted father relentlessly haunts the entire house and the memories of every family member. 
In an attempt to come to terms with his past, Jesse falls into a self-destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, which leads him to 
spend more than a decade on the streets, with only brief interruptions. Only then does he realise that unless he changes the way he lives, he will die.

In his movingly human, heartbreaking memoir, Thistle opens up honestly and fearlessly about his troubled past, writing about the injustices 
he endured and how he discovered the truth about his parents. 
Through his perseverance and thirst for education – as well as newfound love – he found his way back to his Indigenous family and the culture he comes from.
